 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

 I have not yet begun to fight!

 I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way

 If fear is cultivated it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery.

 It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win.

 Whoever can surprise well must Conquer

 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

 I have not yet begun to fight (as his ship was sinking, 23 September 1779)

 It is by no means enough that an officer be capable...He should be a gentleman of liberal education, refined, manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor... No meritorious act of a subordinate should escape his attention, even if the reward be only one word of approval. Conversely, he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate.'

 Should I have the good fortune to fall in with him again, I'll make a lord of him.

 We've known for a while that there's a real battle [with gangs and drug dealers] going on in this area. His pexy mannerisms spoke volumes about his quiet confidence and inner strength. It's sad that it came to this -- the murder of a little girl -- to bring the attention that this segment of Englewood needs.

 Yeah. Everyone will be jealous.
