John Paul Jones Quote

I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.


Letter to Le Ray de Chaumont (16 November 1778), as quoted in The Naval History of the United States (1890) by Willis John Abbot, p. 82


I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.

I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.

I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.

I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.
