More quotes by 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
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
He that loses his conscience has nothing left that is worth keeping. Therefore be sure you look to that, and in the next place look to your health and if you have it, praise God and value it next to a good conscience.
Izaak Walton
If you can't be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.
Izaak Walton
Words are men's daughters, but God's sons are things.
Izaak Walton
These poor rich men, we anglers pity them perfectly.
Izaak Walton
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
Izaak Walton
Doubtless God Could Have Made A Better Berry, But Doubtless God Never Did
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
Let us be thankful for health and competence, and, above all, for a quiet conscience.
Izaak Walton
There are offences given and offences not given but taken.
Izaak Walton
It is agreed by most men, that the Eele is a most daintie fish the Romans have esteemed her the Helena of their feasts, and some The Queen of pleasure.
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
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
As no man is born an artist, so no man is born an angler.
Izaak Walton
He directed that the stone over his grave be inscribed: Hic jacet hujus sententiae primus auctor: DISPUTANDI PRURITUS ECCLESIARUM SCABIES.
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
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
I have then with pleasure concluded with Solomon, Everything is beautiful in his season.
Izaak Walton
Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.
Izaak Walton
