...without A Respectable Navy, Alas

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.

Where Men Of Fine Feeling Are Concerned There Is Seldom Misunderstanding.

He Who Will Not Risk Cannot Win.

It Seems To Be A Law Of Nature, Inflexible And Inexorable, That Those Who Will Not Risk Cannot Win.
