It was wisely said, by a man of great observation, that there are as many miseries beyond riches as on this side of them.
Izaak Walton
Let me tell you that every misery I miss is a new blessing. [Not only be grateful for the good that you have but also for the bad you don't!]
Izaak Walton
Let us not repine, or so much as think the gifts of God unequally dealt, if we see another abound with riches, when, as God knows, the cares that are the keys that keep those riches hang often so heavily at the rich man's girdle that they dog him with weary days and restless nights, even when others sleep quietly.
Izaak Walton

Izaak Walton
