Thank God I have done my duty.

First gain the victory and then make the best use of it you can.

When I came to explain to them the 'Nelson Touch', it was like an electric shock. Some shed tears, all approved - 'It was new - it was singular - it was simple!'.

I could not tread these perilous paths in safety, if I did not keep a saving sense of humor.

Whoever gains the palm by merit, let him hold it.

Never break the neutrality of a port or place, but never consider as neutral any place from whence an attack is allowed to be made.

Time is everything; five minutes make the difference between victory and defeat.
