Robert E. Lee was a gentleman, a statesman, a grand old man.

After the war, he was approached by the mangers of the infamous Louisiana Lottery. He sat in an old rocking chair, crutches at his side and listened to their proposition.

He couldn’t believe his ears; he asked them to repeat it, thinking that he couldn’t have heard them right.

They said they wanted no money from him; all they wanted was the use of his name, and for that they would make him rich.

Lee straightened up in his chair, buttoned his old grey tunic about him and thundered, “Gentlemen, I lost my home in the war. Lost my fortune in the war. I lost everything in the war except my name. My name is not for sale, and if you fellows don’t get out of here I’ll break this crutch over your heads.”

Proverbs 22:1 "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold."
