Everyone should believe in something. I believe I'll go fishing.

Fish are strange creatures. They're even more unpredictable than women---and that's going some! --- R.V. "Gaddabout" Gaddis

The fish are either in the shallows, or the deep water, or someplace in between.---Anon

An expert is a person with whom you go fishing, and if nobody catches anything, knows all the reasons why.---Anon

The congeniality and tact and patience demanded by matrimony are great, but you need still more of each on a fishing trip.---Frederic F. Van de Water

Whiskey will get you through times of no fish much better than fish will get you through times of no whiskey. ---Anon

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.---Patrick F. McManus

Fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.---Ed Zern

*I have a notebook filled with these things.

From the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling

" ...If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;"

Give me a fish, I eat for a day,
Teach me to fish, I eat for a lifetime.
Take a kid fishing

My all time favorite poem, I use to read it to my Son when he was
very young. I think I will read it tonight while we all sit together.

Thanks for the memories, we will make some more tonight...

I like Yogi Berra saying's/quotes-

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

''If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else."

"The future ain't what it used to be."

"You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise, they won't come to yours."

"I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did."

and, "It ain't over till it's over"

None really fishing related, but another way to look at life.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. - Arthur Schopenhauer

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair. - Douglas Adams, Mostly Harmless

Pain is temporary. Giving up is permanent. - Lance Armstrong

If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. - Mark Twain

My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income. - Errol Flynn

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. - Abraham Lincoln

If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside. - Robert X. Cringely, InfoWorld magazine


As someone else stated earlier, I also have a bunch of these, though in my case on a word file on my computer, so I guess I'll eventually lose it.
