[[Percival Serle]] wrote of Phillip in his ''[[Dictionary of Australian Biography]]'': 
{{blockquote|Steadfast in mind, modest, without self seeking, Phillip had imagination enough to conceive what the settlement might become, and the common sense to realize what at the moment was possible and expedient. When almost everyone was complaining he never himself complained, when all feared disaster he could still hopefully go on with his work. He was sent out to found a convict settlement, he laid the foundations of a great dominion.{{sfn|Serle|1949}}}}
