Author	Quotation
Izaak Walton	I have laid aside business, and gone a-fishing.
	Words are men's daughters, but God's sons are things.
	Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
	As no man is born an artist, so no man is born an angler.
	Let me tell you that every misery I miss is a new blessing.
	Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.
	This dish of meat is too good for any but anglers, or very honest men.
	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.
