More quotes by Izaak Walton
Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.
Izaak Walton
These poor rich men, we anglers pity them perfectly.
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
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
Of this blest man, let his just praise be given, Heaven was in him, before he was in Heaven.
Izaak Walton

Izaak Walton

Izaak Walton
You will find angling to be like the virtue of humanity, which has a calmness of spirit and a world of blessing attending upon it.
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
An excellent angler, and now with God.
Izaak Walton
Look to your health: and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of a blessing that money cannot buy and therefore value it.
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
Doubtless God Could Have Made A Better Berry, But Doubtless God Never Did
Izaak Walton
You cannot lose what you never had.
Izaak Walton
