JoshuaRed Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 There are many. Though it's hard to know for sure how much was actually uttered by the pirate versus how much was added by contemporary writers of the day like Dampier, Defoe, Ringrose and others. BUT, assuming that the quotes are more or less accurate and attributable to the actual pirates, here goes my faves: Bartholomew Roberts: "In an honest service there is thin commons, low wages and hard labour; but in a pirate life there is plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power. And who would not balance creditor on this side when all hazard that is run for it, at worst, is only a fore-lock or two at choking?" Black Sam Bellamy: "You are a devilish conscious rascal, damn ye! I am a free prince and have as much authority to make war on the whole world as he who has a hundred sail of ships and an army of a hundred thousand men in the field. And this my conscience tells me me; but there is no arguing with such snivelling puppies who allow superiors to kick them about deck and pleasure, and pin their faith upon a pimp of a parson, a squab who neither practices or believes what he puts upon the chuckle-headed fools he preaches to."
