An excellent angler, and now with God.

If you can't be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.

We may say of angling, as Dr. Boteler said of strawberries, Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did; and so, if I might be judge, God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

It is agreed by most men, that the Eele is a most daintie fish; the Romans have esteemed her the Helena of their feasts, and some The Queen of pleasure.

It was wisely said, by a man of great observation, that there are as many miseries beyond riches as on this side of them.

Let me tell you that every misery I miss is a new blessing.

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