 [Nelson had decided well in advance of Trafalgar that he would abandon classic tactics and attack the horizontal French and Spanish line in two vertical columns, unleashing maximum chaos, his preferred environment. After that, it was every ship for itself.] I think it will surprise and confound the enemy, ... They won't know what I am about. It will bring forward a pell-mell battle, and that is what I want.

 A flower unblown; a book unread; A tree with fruit unharvested; A path untrod - A landscape whose wide border lies In silent shade 'neath silent skies; A wondrous fountain yet unsealed; - This is the Year that for you waits Beyond to-morrow's mystic

 Buonaparte has often made his boast that our fleet would be worn out by keeping the sea and that his was kept in order and increasing by staying in port; but know he finds, I fancy, if Emperors hear the truth, that his fleet suffers more in a night than ours in one year.

 Desperate affairs require desperate measures.

 Duty is the great business of a sea officer; all private considerations must give way to it, however painful it may be.

 England expects that every man will do his duty.

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

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

 I cannot command winds and weather.

 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.

 I have only one eye, I have a right to be blind sometimes... I really do not see the signal!

 I owe all my success in life to having always been a quarter of an hour beforehand

 I think it will surprise and confound the enemy. They won't know what I am about. It will bring forward a pell-mell battle, and that is what I want.

 If a man consults whether he is to fight, when he has the power in his own hands, it is certain that his opinion is against fighting.
