Lord, what music hast thou provided for Thy saints in heaven, when Thou affordest bad men such music on earth!

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

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.

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

God has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.

The Waters are Nature's storehouse in which she locks up her wonders.
