There is an evening twilight of the heart, When its wild passion-waves are lulled to rest.
Fitz-Greene Halleck
Image
In the name of sense, man, if God made fish to be eaten, what difference does it make if I enjoy the killing of them before I eat them? You would have none but a fisherman by trade do it, and then you would have him utter a sigh, a prayer, and a pious ejaculation at each cod or haddock that he killed.
William Cowper Prime
Image
A fisherman's walk: three steps and overboard.
Martial

All Americans believe that they are born fishermen. For a man to admit a distaste for fishing would be like denouncing mother-love or hating moonlight.
John Steinbeck
Image
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
Herbert Hoover

Maybe your stature as a fly fisherman isn't determined by how big a trout you can catch, but by how small a trout you can catch without being disappointed.
John Gierach

I come from a family of fishermen. Fishing is very important to us. We don't hunt. We're not gun folk.

Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher's salary.

The best fisherman I know try not to make the same mistakes over and over again instead they strive to make new and interesting mistakes and to remember what they learned from them.
John Gierach
Image
The fisher droppeth his net in the stream, And a hundred streams are the same as one And the maiden dreameth her love-lit dream And what is it all, when all is done? The net of the fisher the burden breaks, And always the dreaming the dreamer wakes.
Alice Cary

I don't have a nanny or a housekeeper, and I only have a cleaner for one hour each week. I finish work and go home. I cook the dinner. I run into Tesco and do the housework in the evening.
Victoria Beckham

A trout fisherman is something that defieth understanding.

In spite of a heavy disguise, a few days' growth on my face, dark glasses, a beret and one of William's jackets that fitted me not at all, as I emerged from a hotel in Lecce, a young fisherman pointed me out to his friends and said Lavrenche Olivaire. It was not all that amazing if you're not known in Italy, you're not known anywhere.
Laurence Olivier
Image
In the past, when I shot films about fishermen and hunters, I always had to admire their ability to perceive time in its entirety. The present was always temporary.
Lennart Meri

Priest is a fisherman and Holy Book is a fishook. We either refuse to be a fish or we burn in the frying pan of irrationality!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
There's always going to be the cooler-clubbers who are going to harvest a lot of fish, but I think the hard-core bass fishermen release just about everything they catch these days. Years ago, I think people were willing to release smaller fish, but now I think they're willing to release them all, and that's the important part.
Philip K. Chapman
Image
Death is like a fisherman, who, having caught a fish in his net, leaves it in the water for a time the fish continues to swim about, but all the while the net is round it, and the fisherman will snatch it out in his own good time.
Ivan Turgenev
Image
Contrary to common belief, it is not true that if you cut a worm-fisherman in half, each half will grow into a complete fisherman. For which we should all be eternally grateful.
Ed Zern

Jesus called fishermen, not graduates of rabbinical schools. The main requirement was to be natural and sincere.
