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.

Thank God I have done my duty.

Now I can do no more. We must trust to the Great Disposer of all events and the justice of our cause. I thank God for this opportunity of doing my duty.

My character and good name are in my own keeping. Life with disgrace is dreadful. A glorious death is to be envied.

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

I will dine nowhere without your consent although with my present feelings I might be trusted with fifty virgins naked in a dark room.

England expects that every man will do his duty.
