Doubtless God Could Have Made A Better Berry, But Doubtless God Never Did

Angling may be said to be so like the Mathematics that it can never be fully learnt; at least not so fully but that there will still be more new experiments left for the trial of other men that succeed us.

O, sir, doubt not that Angling is an art; is it not an art to deceive a trout with an artificial fly?

Let us be thankful for health and competence, and, above all, for a quiet conscience.

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

Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.
