 God has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart. |
| Words are men's daughters, but God's sons are things. |
| That which is everybody's business is nobody's business. |
| Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art. |
| Angling may be said to be so like the mathematics that it can never be fully learned. |
| I have laid aside business, and gone a'fishing. |
| God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling. |
| In so doing, use him as though you loved him. |
| As no man is born an artist, so no man is born an angler. |
| Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. |
| The person that loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping. |
| I love such mirth as does not make friends ashamed to look upon one another next morning. |
| No man can lose what he never had. |
| Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue. |
