Fishes that tipple in the deep, Know no such liberty.
Richard Lovelace
Image
Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land the great ones eat up the little ones.
William Shakespeare
Image
Fishes do not roar they cannot express any sound of suffering and therefore the angler chooses to think they do not suffer, more than it is convenient for him to fancy. Now it is a poor sport that depends for its existence on the want of a voice in the sufferer, and of imagination in the sportsman.
Leigh Hunt
Image
Fishes and tales And a fisherman's daughter Walks in the rain, She walks to the water To the sea.
Daniel Lanois
Image
I find you in all small and lovely things in the little fishes like flames in the green water, in the furred and stupid softness of bumble-bees fat as laughter, in all the chiming radiance of warmth and light and scent in the summer garden.
Winifred Holtby
Image
I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.
Zhuangzi
Image
Down the road someone is practicing scales, The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails
Louis MacNeice
Image
If wishes were fishes we'd all be throwing nets. If wishes were horses we'd all ride.
Douglas Horton

Aquarium fishes even if they only imagine going to a lake, the windows of that aquarium will become thinner than before.
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
Accept your loneliness. It is one stage, and only one stage, on a journey that brings you to God. It will not always last. Offer up your loneliness to God, as the little boy offered to Jesus his five loaves and two fishes. God can transform it for the good of others. Above all, do something for somebody else!
Elisabeth Elliot
Image
Wise man is a lake full with fishes clever man is a fisherman who often visits this lake!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
The Press blew, the public stared, hands flew out like a million little fishes after bread.
Enid Bagnold
Image
Show me a man who fishes in winter, and I'll show you a fanatic. Actually, I'll get the better of the deal, because for sheer spectacle a fanatic doesn't hold a candle to a man who fishes in winter
Patrick F. McManus
Image
If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.
Frank Herbert
Image
When thirsty grief in wine we steep, When healths and draughts go free, Fishes, that tipple in the deep, Know no such liberty.
Richard Lovelace
Image
Recognition of this kinship with the rest of the universe is necessary for understanding him, but his essential nature is defined by qualities found nowhere else, not by those he has in common with apes, fishes, trees, fire, or anything other than himself.
George Gaylord Simpson
Image
We're not protecting the environment for the sake of the fishes and the birds. We're protecting it for our own sake.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Image
If fishes were wishes the ocean would be all of our desire.
Gertrude Stein
Image
The men of God are like fishes in the ocean they pop up into view on the surface here and there and everywhere, as they please.
Rumi
Image
I love to think that animals and humans and plants and fishes and trees and stars and the moon are all connected.
Gloria Vanderbilt
Image
To me the sea is a continual miracle The fishes that swim - the rocks - the motion of the waves - the ships, with men in them, what stranger miracles are there?
Walt Whitman
Image
We waded so gently and reverently, or we pulled together so smoothly, that the fishes of thought were not scared from the stream, nor feared any angler on the bank, but came and went grandly, like the clouds which came and went on the western sky, and the mother-o'-pearl flocks which sometimes form and dissolve there.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
This Bouillabaisse a noble dish is - A sort of soup or broth, or brew, Or hotchpotch of all sorts of fishes, That Greenwich never could outdo Green herbs, red peppers, mussels, saffron, Soles, onions, garlic, roach, and dace All these you eat at Terre's tavern, In that one dish of Bouillabaisse.
William Makepeace Thackeray
Image
Unlike the Concord, the Merrimack is not a dead but a living stream, though it has less life within its waters and on its banks. It has a swift current, and, in this part of its course, a clayey bottom, almost no weeds, and comparatively few fishes.
Henry David Thoreau
