Surrender? I have not yet begun to fight!
John Paul JonesSign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me.
I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.

John Paul JonesIt is by no means enough that an officer should be capable. . . . He should be as well 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.
John Paul JonesIf fear is cultivated it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery.
