O, sir, doubt not that Angling is an art; is it not an art to deceive a trout with an artificial fly?
And for winter fly-fishing it is as useful as an almanac out of date.
The will of man is by his reason swayed.
We see but the outside of a rich man's happiness; few consider him to be like the silkworm, that, when she seems to play, is at the very same time consuming herself.
Angling is an art, and an art worth your learning.
Words are men's daughters, but God's sons are things.
