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.

Never break the neutrality of a port or place, but never consider as neutral any place from whence an attack is allowed to be made.

Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon.

Time is everything; five minutes make the difference between victory and defeat.

I cannot, if I am in the field of glory, be kept out of sight: wherever there is anything to be done, there Providence is sure to direct my steps.

First gain the victory and then make the best use of it you can.

No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy.
