Do not bite at the bait of pleasure till you know there is no hook beneath it.

I should never make anything of a fisherman. I had not got sufficient imagination

I don't eat fish because there is no such thing as sustainable fishing in the world right now.

He that will not stoop for a pin will never be worth a pound.

Anyone who delights in praise destroys it.

If I fished only to capture fish, my fishing trips would have ended long ago.

Neither blame or praise yourself.

I'd hate to spend the rest of my life trying to outwit an eighteen-inch fish.

Nobody deserves to be praised for goodness unless he is strong enough to be bad.

Be patient and calm; no one can catch fish in anger.

Compliments have lost their lure by the time a man does not have to fish for them.

I will never buy a fish tank, because I don't believe in supporting the funding of aquatic war machines.

Do not praise an undeserving man because of his riches.

Unwanted favours gain no gratitude.
