Nothing exciting ever happens to me.
If fear is cultivated it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery.
I would lay down my life for America but I cannot trifle with my Honor.
It is true that I must run a great risk; no gallant action was ever accomplished without danger.
...without a Respectable Navy, Alas America!
Where men of fine feeling are concerned there is seldom misunderstanding.
