An excellent angler, and now with God.

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

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

The person who loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping.

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!]

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.

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