Recollect that you must be a seaman to be an officer and also that you cannot be a good officer without being a gentleman.

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

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

England expects that every man will do his duty.

Desperate affairs require desperate measures.
