...without A Respectable Navy, Alas America!

Whoever Can Surprise Well Must Conquer.

I Wish To Have No Connection With Any Ship That Does Not Sail Fast; For I Intend To Go In Harm's Way.

I Would Lay Down My Life For America But I Cannot Trifle With My Honor.

Where Men Of Fine Feeling Are Concerned There Is Seldom Misunderstanding.

If Fear Is Cultivated It Will Become Stronger, If Faith Is Cultivated It Will Achieve Mastery.
