Angling
 
  Our Angles are like money put to usury; they may thrive, though we sit still and do nothing but talk and enjoy one another.
            —Izaak Walton		  1
  Angling is somewhat like Poetry, men are to be born so.
            —Izaak Walton		  2
  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		  3
