The person who loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping.
Blessings upon all that hate contention, and love quietnesse, and vertue, and Angling.
No life is so happy and so pleasant as the life of the well-govern'd angler.
Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.
Blessings we enjoy daily, and for the most of them, because they be so common, men forget to pay their praises. [and miss much of their benefits from grateful appreciation]
There are offences given and offences not given but taken.
