Blessings upon all that hate contention, and love quietnesse, and vertue, and Angling.
I am, Sir, a brother of the angle.
God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
Look to your health: and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy; and therefore value it.
As no man is born an artist, so no man is born an angler.
Let me tell you that every misery I miss is a new blessing. [Not only be grateful for the good that you have but also for the bad you don't!]
