“Angling may be said to be so like the mathematics that it can never be fully learnt.”
“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.”
“Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.”
“Words are men's daughters, but God's sons are things.”
“The person that loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping.”
“God has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.”
“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 money cannot buy; therefore value it, and be thankful for it.”
