Whoever Gains The Palm By Merit, Let

Frigates Are The Eyes Of A Fleet.

I Owe All My Success In Life To Having Been Always A Quarter Of An Hour Before My Time.

I Am Ill Every Time It Blows Hard, And Nothing But My Enthusiastic Love For The Profession Keeps Me One Hour At Sea.

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

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.
