There are a lot of cool (and sometimes puzzling) signature lines out there. Anyone care to expand on theirs? I'll hold off on mine for just a little while.

Better to be an active environmentalist than and environmental activist.

Re: Signature lines
Think mine is fairly self explanatory!!
Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
Re: Signature lines
The author of my signature line, Horace Kephart, wrote for Field and Stream in the late 1800s
A collection of his articles was published in 1906 in the book Camping and Woodcraft, from which my quote is taken.
Mr Kephart is better know for his 1913 book, Our Southern Highlanders, and for his efforts which resulted in the founding of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.

Re: Signature lines
Just something I read somewhere a while back. Helps me keep things simple.
Can't wait for your explanation of your signature line - of course, then I'll have one less thing to be curious about.
The fish are always right.
Re: Signature lines
If I've been informed correctly, mine roughly translates to: Honk if you speak Latin. (I don't, BTW, and still haven't heard any honking)
I was also considering
May barbarians invade your personal space!
Utinam barbari spatium proprium tuum invadant!
(I started another Latin phrase thread to stop me from hijacking my own thread)

Re: Signature lines
While I don't consider myself a tree-embracer and my heart doesn't bleed,Mine is clearly an appeal to preserve what we love.
The 'Wild Onzies' comes from a nickname given by OH Tuber and references the fact that I'm really not wild because, lets face it, how wild can a family man be??
Leave No Trace
Re: Signature lines
I think mine is fairly self explanatory, except, sence having 2 heart attacks and having to be shocked 4 times to get me back the second time......I have changed my daily attitude......every day above ground IS a good day, and I might as well fish!~

Re: Signature lines
My signature line comes from the title of chapter one in Dave Hughes book, Handbook of Hatches.
Trout don't speak Latin.
Re: Signature lines
I, guess......... I use the tag line, I do...... because when I read it, it made perfect sense and it's one of the real "truisms" in fishing!?!
Ed Zern had a different take, on the same subject though, which I also love and should have used perhaps:
"All fishermen are BORN, "honest", but they soon get over it!" (slight, paraphrase, not exact,without looking it up!)
