✅ "𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭!" ⚔️:
John Paul Jones (1747–1792) spoke these immortal words during the most famous naval battle of the American Revolution. His ship, the Bonhomme Richard, was sinking, outgunned, and on fire – yet he refused to surrender. When the British captain called for his surrender, Jones replied: "I have not yet begun to fight!" The Bonhomme Richard eventually captured HMS Serapis – one of the greatest upsets in naval history.
