"Not a moment should be lost in attacking the enemy....The only consideration in my mind is, how to get at them with the least risk to our ships....The measure may be thought bold, but I am of the opinion the boldest measures are the safest."
"Do you know what's shown on board of the Commander-in-Chief? Why [the signal] to leave off action! Now damn me if I do! You know, Foley, I have only one eye, - and I have I right to be blind sometimes. I really do not see the signal!
-Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson
