Ramage & the Drumbeat Quotes

“if you were to lead successfully, whether a kingdom or a ship’s company, the only standards worth bothering with were those you set yourself; those of others were—well, those of the mob; those who were led, who had neither the ability nor the courage to sit alone and make the decisions.”
― Dudley Pope, Ramage & the Drumbeat

“politics are the curse of the Navy!”
― Dudley Pope, Ramage & the Drumbeat
