“But there’s a big fucking difference between what society teaches us what a real man does and what a good man does. And good men are willing to do the hard, emotional labor on themselves to be strong partners to the people we love.”
Often the only difference between a problem being painful or being powerful is a sense that we chose it, and that we are responsible for it.

‘Always! That is a dreadful word. It makes me shudder
when I hear it. Women are so fond of using it. They spoil
every romance by trying to make it last forever. It is a
meaningless word, too. The only difference between a caprice and a life-long passion is that the caprice lasts a
little longer.’
I make a great difference between people. I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their characters, and my enemies for their brains.
I don’t consider myself a moral man. I do not philosophize about life or bother with the laws and principles that govern most people. I do not pretend to know the difference between right and wrong. But I do live by a certain kind of code. And sometimes, I think, you have to learn how to shoot first.
Sea Denial
This latter version of sea denial can be very confusing, however, because it blurs the difference between it and sea control. It might be safer, indeed, to regard it as an indirect strategy of sea control if the aim of the exercise is in fact to facilitate your
eventual use of the sea somewhere

The value of theory in maritime operations
Corbett reproduced a seventeenth-century report that pointed out the essential difference between operations at sea and on land: it intended to enjoin our fleet to advance and fight at sea much after the manner of an army at land, assigning every ship to a particular division, rank, file and station, which order and regularity was not only improbable but almost impossible to be observed by so great a fleet in so uncertain a place as the sea.

Main Methods
Privateering was used both by the weaker and the stronger fleet, while commerce raiding was generally used by the weaker fleet. Although similar in many ways, there is also a great difference between privateering and commerce raiding. Privateering was conducted by privately owned ships and for profit. In contrast, commerce raiding was organized and conducted by the navies.
Common to both methods is that attacks on enemy merchant shipping are conducted sporadically.

Operating Environment
The single biggest difference between the open ocean and the littorals is density of surface and air traffic. Narrow seas are characterized by the presence of large numbers of friendly, potentially hostile, and neutral commercial vessels, warships,
and auxiliaries.
