Desperate Affairs Require Desperate Measures.

Recollect That You Must Be A Seaman To Be An Officer And Also That You Cannot Be A Good Officer Without Being A Gentleman.

Firstly, You Must Always Implicitly Obey Orders, Without Attempting To Form Any Opinion Of Your Own Respecting Their Propriety. Secondly, You Must Consider Every Man Your Enemy Who Speaks Ill Of Your King; And Thirdly, You Must Hate A Frenchman, As You Do The Devil.

I Believe My Arrival Was Most Welcome, Not Only To The Commander Of The Fleet But Almost To Every Individual In It.

In Sea Affairs, Nothing Is Impossible, And Nothing Is Improbable.

Close With A Frenchman, But Out-maneuver A Russian.
