Let me die in this old uniform in which I fought my battles. May God forgive me for ever having put on another.

What do you think would be my fate if my misguided countrymen were to take me prisoner?

We have but very indifferent men in general. Great part of those who ship for seamen know very little of the matter.

We have a wretched motley crew, in the fleet; the marines the refuse of every regiment, and the seamen, few of them, ever wet with salt water.
