OK--this is out there, but maybe somebody knows what I'm talking about. There was an admiral from the American Revolution or maybe the Civil War that had a real famous line. It seems like his name was 2 first names like John Charles or something like that. Anybody have any idea what I'm talking about? I was trying tell dh something and my brain went blank and it's driving me nuts.

Give me a hint, I bet I can help you figure it out.. What did it apply to? There are ALOT of famous quotes, but if you can narrow it down a bit for me I can probably figure it out.. I have a DF that is a history buff..
