Old-fashioned poetry, but choicely good.
Doubtless God Could Have Made A Better Berry, But Doubtless God Never Did
God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
A companion that feasts the company with and mirth, and leaves out the sin which is usually mixed with them, he is the man; and let me tell you, good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.
No life is so happy and so pleasant as the life of the well-govern'd angler.
If you can't be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.
