Izaak Walton


Our Angles are like money put to usury; they may thrive, though we sit still and do nothing but talk and enjoy one another.	1
Angling is somewhat like Poetry, men are to be born so.	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.	3
Clear as the crystal brooks.	4
With as much ease as whirlwinds move feathers.	5
Free as fishing is.	6
Sure as creed.	7
