Lord Mountbatten

“What do you do if you are asked to do a job, first by the Prime Minister, and then by the King? How can you refuse?”

“The team should have implicit confidence in the captain's decisions.”

“I suppose you can say I became an odd-job man.”

“I was so keen to get back to sea. I was rattled.”

“Never feel that a piece of criticism or advice is too much trouble to give, or that it exceeds your province.”
