England expects that every man will do his duty. A signal to the British fleet before the battle of Trafalgar.

May the Great God, whom I worship, grant to my Country and for the benefit of Europe in general a great and glorious victory; and may no misconduct in anyone tarnish it; and may humanity after Victory be the predominant feature of the British fleet. For myself, individually, I commit my life to Him who made me, and may His blessing light upon my endeavours for serving my Country faithfully. To Him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted to me to defend. Amen. Amen. Amen. A diary entry on the eve of the battle of Trafalgar.

It is nonsense, Mr. Burke, to suppose I can live. My sufferings are great but they will soon be over.

This is too warm work, Hardy, to last long.

Something must be left to chance; nothing is sure in a sea fight above all. Before the battle of Trafalgar.
