It Seems To Be A Law Of

An Honorable Peace Is And Always Was My First Wish! I Can Take No Delight In The Effusion Of Human Blood; But, If This War Should Continue, I Wish To Have The Most Active Part In It.

It Is True That I Must Run A Great Risk; No Gallant Action Was Ever Accomplished Without Danger.

He Who Will Not Risk Cannot Win.

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

I May Sink, But I'll Be Damned If I Strike!
