Zitat des Tages von William Kidd:
If you will take her, you may take her, but if you go from aboard, you shall never come aboard again.
I would rather my soul broil in hell than I do you any harm.
I desire to put off my trial as long as I can till I can get my evidence ready.
I do not care so much for the death of my gunner, as for other passages of my voyage, for I have good friends in England that will bring me off for that.
I had no money nor friends to prepare for the trial till last night.
I have been sworn against by perjured and wicked people.
My lord, I have some matter of law relating to the indictment, and I desire counsel to speak to it.
