American - Soldier July 6, 1747 - July 18, 1792

With the author

I have not yet begun to fight!

John Paul Jones

I could heartily wish that every commission officer was to be previously examined; for, to my certain knowledge, there are persons who have already crept into commission without abilities or fit qualification: I am myself far from desiring to be excused.

John Paul Jones

The common class of mankind are actuated by no nobler principle than that of self-interest; this and this alone determines all adventurers in privateers: the owners, as well as those whom they employ.

John Paul Jones

Since human wisdom cannot secure us from accidents, it is the greatest effort of reason to bear them well.

John Paul Jones

A captain of the Navy ought to be a man of strong and well connected sense, with a tolerable good education, a gentleman, as well as a seaman both in theory and practice.

John Paul Jones

Ram Dass

I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour.
