I Have Not Yet Begun To Fight!

Whoever Can Surprise Well Must Conquer.

Nothing Exciting Ever Happens To Me.

...without A Respectable Navy, Alas America!

I Have Not Yet Begun To Fight!

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.
