To Do Nothing Was Disgraceful;

The Business Of The English Commander-in-chief Being First To Bring An Enemy Fleet To Battle On The Most Advantageous Terms To Himself, (i Mean That Of Laying His Ships Close On Board The Enemy, As Expeditiously As Possible); And Secondly To Continue Them There Until The Business Is Decided.

I Cannot Command Winds And Weather.

Whoever Gains The Palm By Merit, Let Him Hold It.

I Believe My Arrival Was Most Welcome, Not Only To The Commander Of The Fleet But Almost To Every Individual In It.

Gentlemen, When The Enemy Is Committed To A Mistake We Must Not Interrupt Him Too Soon.
