He that loses his conscience has nothing left that is worth keeping. Therefore be sure you look to that, and in the next place look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to a good conscience.

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.

That which is everybody's business is nobody's business.

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

The will of man is by his reason swayed.

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.
