There can be only one Captain to a ship.

Only disaster can follow divided counsels and opposing wills.

There is a ship afloat without a captain,

It's the right thing to do. He is the captain of the ship and it needs to be said. Somebody has to stand up and say what needs to be said.

If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever

The work to me is everything, and I would throw every rule overboard and send them to the bottom of the sea tomorrow, if I felt there were a more excellent way.
