I have known a very good, fisher angle diligently four or six hours for a river carp, and not have a bite.
The will of man is by his reason swayed.
You cannot lose what you never had.
That which is everybody's business is nobody's business.
The Waters are Nature's storehouse in which she locks up her wonders.
Blessings upon all that hate contention, and love quietnesse, and vertue, and Angling.
