Angling may be said to be so like the mathematics that it can never be fully learned. |
As no man is born an artist, so no man is born an angler |
God has two dwellings: one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart |
God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling. |
Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue. |
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. |
I have laid aside business, and gone a'fishing |
I love such mirth as does not make friends ashamed to look upon one another next morning |
I shall stay no longer than to wish him a rainy day to read this... discourse; and that if he be an honest angler, the east wind may never blow when he goes a-fishing. |
In so doing, use him as though you loved him. |
Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy |
No man can lose what he never had |
That which is everybody's business is nobody's business |
Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art. |
Words are men's daughters, but God's sons are things. |
