More quotes by Izaak Walton
Rivers and the inhabitants of the watery element were made for wise men to contemplate, and fools to pass by without consideration.
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
If you can't be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.
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
These poor rich men, we anglers pity them perfectly.
Izaak Walton
The person who loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping.
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
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
I have then with pleasure concluded with Solomon, Everything is beautiful in his season.
Izaak Walton
God has two dwellings one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.
Izaak Walton
[T]is not all fishing to fish.
Izaak Walton
And for winter fly-fishing it is as useful as an almanac out of date.
Izaak Walton
Of this blest man, let his just praise be given, Heaven was in him, before he was in Heaven.
Izaak Walton
As no man is born an artist, so no man is born an angler.
Izaak Walton
No life is so happy and so pleasant as the life of the well-govern'd angler.
Izaak Walton
An excellent angler, and now with God.
Izaak Walton
Angling is an art, and an art worth your learning.
Izaak Walton
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.
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
Let us be thankful for health and competence, and, above all, for a quiet conscience.
Izaak Walton
