Our Country will, I believe, sooner forgive an Officer for attacking his Enemy than for letting it alone.

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

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.

I have only one eye, I have a right to be blind sometimes... I really do not see the signal!

My love is founded on esteem, the only foundation that can make the passion last.

Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon.

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