I owe all my success in life to having been always a quarter of an hour before my time.

You must consider every man your enemy who speaks ill of your King, and you must treat every Frenchman as if he were the Devil himself.

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

England expects that every man will do his duty.

Laurels grow in the Bay of Biscay, I hope a bed of them may be found in the Mediterranean.

If I had been censured every time I have run my ship, or fleets under my command, into great danger, I should have long ago been out of the Service and never in the House of Peers.

Thank God I have done my duty. Drink, drink. Fan, fan. Rub, rub. Kiss me, Hardy.
