It is my turn now; and if I come back, it is yours.

In Sea affairs, nothing is impossible, and nothing is improbable.

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

I am of the opinion that the boldest measures are the safest.

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

Let me alone: I have yet my legs and one arm. Tell the surgeon to make haste and his instruments. I know I must lose my right arm, so the sooner it's off the better.

Thank God I have done my duty.
