"I think it better to do right, even if we suffer in so doing, than to incur the reproach of our conscience." - Robert E. Lee
I believe this quote means that even if it hurts sometimes to do the right you should still do the right thing because if you don't your conscience will feel guilty afterwards. If it hurts to do the right at first after you'll probably feel good and your conscience will also feel good. For example if your best friend tells you to smoke something but you know its the wrong thing to do and you say no and then they tell you that if you don't do so they won't be your friend anymore you should still choose the right and say no. Yes you might lose a so called friend, but you'll feel good that you stood up for what was right.
