I have laid aside business, and gone a'fishing.
God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.
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!]
That which is everybody's business is nobody's business.
There are offences given and offences not given but taken.
