Surrender? I have not yet begun to fight!

Today I start a sporadic habit of listing a few of the quotes I see carved in stone around Washington. This one is from the John Paul Jones' small, easily missed monument located on a sort of triangular island between the Washington Monument (el obelisco some South Americans described it) and the WWII Memorial (the only memorial I know if that has a searchable database to look up a soldier, an uncle, father, brother or grandfather perhaps who fought in WWII!)
