Whoever Can Surprise Well Must

I May Sink, But I'll Be Damned If I Strike!

An Honorable Peace Is And Always Was My First Wish! I Can Take No Delight In The Effusion Of Human Blood; But, If This War Should Continue, I Wish To Have The Most Active Part In It.

If Fear Is Cultivated It Will Become Stronger, If Faith Is Cultivated It Will Achieve Mastery.

...without A Respectable Navy, Alas America!

Whoever Can Surprise Well Must Conquer.
