Izaak Walton

God has two dwellings; one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.

Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art.

I have laid aside business, and gone a'fishing.

Good company in a journey makes the way to seem the shorter.

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

Health is ... a blessing that money cannot buy.

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

Angling may be said to be so like the mathematics that it can never be fully learnt.

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