“But in this country it is necessary, now and then, to put one admiral to death in order to inspire the others to fight.”
“We don't give our criminals much punishment, but we sure give 'em plenty of publicity.”
“Hanging one scoundrel, it appears, does not deter the next. Well, what of it? The first one is at least disposed of.”
