Quotes 

• [an aide suggests that General Lee surrender] 

  Gen. Robert E. Lee : [Grasping sword]  Surrender? My poor army! Why I'd rather die a thousand deaths than to do that to them.

  Aide : There, there, General. You must lie down and rest.

  Gen. Robert E. Lee : [Introspectively]  Rest... that's a beautiful word.
