Henry Lee III quotes

To the memory of the Man, first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. (Henry Lee III)

Fame in arms or art, however conspicuous, is naught, unless bottomed in virtue.

Henry Lee III

The rank of men, as established by the concurrent judgement of ages stands thus: heroes, legislators, orators, and poets. The most useful and, in my opinion, the most honourable is the legislator, which so far from being incompatible with the profession of law, is congenial to it. Generally, mankind admire most the hero; of all, the most useless, except when the safety of the nation demands his saving arm.

Henry Lee III

I would rather see you unlettered and unnoticed, if virtuous in practice as well as in theory, than see you the equal in glory to the great Washington.
