More quotes by Izaak Walton
As no man is born an artist, so no man is born an angler.
Izaak Walton
I have laid aside business, and gone a'fishing.
Izaak Walton
An excellent angler, and now with God.
Izaak Walton
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.
Izaak Walton
No man can lose what he never had.
Izaak Walton
Doubt not but angling will prove to be so pleasant that it will prove to be, like virtue, a reward to itself.
Izaak Walton
He directed that the stone over his grave be inscribed: Hic jacet hujus sententiae primus auctor: DISPUTANDI PRURITUS ECCLESIARUM SCABIES.
Izaak Walton
For love is a flattering mischief, that hath denied aged and wise men a foresight of those evils that too often prove to be the children of that blind father a passion, that carries us to commit errors with as much ease as whirlwinds move feathers, and begets in us an unwearied industry to the attainment of what we desire.
Izaak Walton
Let us be thankful for health and competence, and, above all, for a quiet conscience.
Izaak Walton
Blessings we enjoy daily, and for the most of them, because they be so common, men forget to pay their praises. [and miss much of their benefits from grateful appreciation]
Izaak Walton

Izaak Walton
If you can't be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.
Izaak Walton
[T]is not all fishing to fish.
Izaak Walton
Angling is somewhat like poetry, men are to be born so: I mean, with inclinations to it, though both may be heightened by discourse and practice
Izaak Walton
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
Izaak Walton
Angling may be said to be so like the Mathematics that it can never be fully learnt at least not so fully but that there will still be more new experiments left for the trial of other men that succeed us.
Izaak Walton
Words are men's daughters, but God's sons are things.
Izaak Walton
Doubtless God Could Have Made A Better Berry, But Doubtless God Never Did
Izaak Walton
So long as thou are ignorant be not ashamed to learn. Ignorance is the greatest of all infirmities, and when justified, the chiefest of all follies.
Izaak Walton
These poor rich men, we anglers pity them perfectly.
Izaak Walton
