My Character And Good Name Are In

A Ship's A Fool To Fight A Fort.

I Cannot, If I Am In The Field Of Glory, Be Kept Out Of Sight: Wherever There Is Anything To Be Done, There Providence Is Sure To Direct My Steps.

The Politics Of Courts Are So Mean That Private People Would Be Ashamed To Act In The Same Way; All Is Trick And Finesse, To Which The Common Cause Is Sacrificed.

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

I Could Not Tread These Perilous Paths In Safety, If I Did Not Keep A Saving Sense Of Humor.
