|  I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way. | | 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. | | I have not yet begun to fight! | | Whoever can surprise well must conquer. | | It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win. |
