In honour I gained them, and in honour I will die with them.
From Horatio Nelson
It is warm work; and this day may be the last to any of us at a moment. But mark you! I would not be elsewhere for thousands. - at the Battle of Copenhagen.
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.
Our country will, I believe, sooner forgive an officer for attacking an enemy than for letting it alone.
When I follow my own head, I am, in general, much more correct in my judgment than following the opinion of others.
