If you can't be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.

If you can't be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.

Blessings upon all that hate contention, and love quietnesse, and vertue, and Angling.

I have known a very good, fisher angle diligently four or six hours for a river carp, and not have a bite.

You will find angling to be like the virtue of humanity, which has a calmness of spirit and a world of blessing attending upon it.

I have laid aside business, and gone a'fishing.

No man can lose what he never had.
