. . perhaps the greatest satisfaction on the first day of the season is the knowledge in the evening that the whole of the rest of the season is to come.
Arthur Ransome
Image
The fishing was good it was the catching that was bad.
A. Best
Image
Don't talk anybody, don't come near! Can't you see the fish might hear? He thinks I'm playing with a piece of string He thinks I'm another sort of funny thing, But he doesn't know I'm fishing - He doesn't know I'm fishing. That's what I'm doing - Fishing.
A. A. Milne
Image
. . . . spending more time with my fly firmly attached to the branches of trees and almost none of it attached to the lips of a trout.
Tom Sutcliffe
Image
We are already and will remain all in the same boat.
Zygmunt Bauman
Image
Burn the boats as you enter the island and you will take the island.
Napoleon Hill
Image
We also have a piece about the Mayflower, but it's just a very different, very gritty, very character-driven version of why those people were on that boat and what the experience was like for them, emotionally, physically and spiritually, and also the Native Americans and what the state of Native American society was at that time.
John Landgraf

Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.
Ernest Hemingway
Image
I love being a woman. You can cry. You get to wear pants now. If you're on a boat and it's going to sink, you get to go on the rescue boat first. You get to wear cute clothes. It must be a great thing, or so many men wouldn't be wanting to do it.
Gilda Radner
Image
Any fool can carry on, but a wise man knows how to shorten sail in time.
Joseph Conrad
Image
'Twas merry when You wagered on your angling, when your diver Did hang a salt fish on his hook, which he With fervency drew up.
William Shakespeare
Image
If the family were a boat, it would be a canoe that makes no progress unless everyone paddles.
Letty Cottin Pogrebin
Image
I was cast in a movie [originally] called Mr. Spreckman's Boat, starring Marcia Gay Harden and Jennifer Connelly. I felt like an actress. Both of them have won Oscars - maybe that means I might one day.
Tracee Ellis Ross
Image
The moon grew full, then slowly pared itself down until it shriveled into a ghostly boat riding above the roiling dark. Then it fell out of the sky. They climbed into it, left land behind, and floated out to sea.
Patricia A. McKillip
Image
I should never make anything of a fisherman. I had not got sufficient imagination
Jerome K. Jerome
Image
Canoeing was hard and scary, and the wind could blow you across the lake if you did it wrong. After a year of not doing it right, I could talk to people and get them to sit up straight, take different kinds of chances, to breathe differently, to engage in the moment in the boat. And I changed them, and I changed me in the process.
Seth Godin
Image
A bogus Congress register can never lead you to Swaraj any more than a paper boat can help you to sail across the Padma.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I must have read every issue of 'Punch' published in the 20th century, and I think in the process I picked up the true voice of English humour - that amiable, fairly liberal, laconic voice which you find in something like 'Three Men in a Boat.'
Terry Pratchett
Image
The kind of power mothers have is enormous. Take the skyline of Istanbul - enormous breasts, pathetic little willies, a final revenge on Islam. I was so scared I had to crouch in the bottom of the boat when I saw it.
Angela Carter
Image
When you're on a boat, it is this tiny little island where you have to be completely self-sufficient.
J. C. Chandor
Image
Many persons sigh for death when it seems far off, but the inclination vanishes when the boat upsets, or the locomotive runs off the track, or the measles set it.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson
Image
It isn't that life ashore is distasteful to me. But life at sea is better.
Francis Drake
Image
Freedom-loving people around the world must say . . . I am a refugee in a crowded boat foundering off the coast of Vietnam. I am Laotian, a Cambodian, a Cuban, and a Miskito Indian in Nicaragua. I, too, am a potential victim of totalitarianism.
Ronald Reagan
Image
Nicholas Temelcoff is famous on the bridge, a daredevil. He is given all the difficult jobs and he takes them. He descends into the air with no fear. He is a solitary. He assembles ropes, brushes the tackle and pulley at his waist, and falls off the bridge like a diver over the edge of a boat.
