"TO GO FISHING IS THE CHANCE TO WASH ONE'S SOUL WITH PURE AIR, WITH THE RUSH OF THE BROOK, OR WITH THE SHIMMER OF THE SUN ON BLUE WATER.  IT BRINGS MEEKNESS AND INSPIRATION FROM THE DECENCY OF NATURE, CHARITY TOWARD THE TACKLE-MAKERS, PATIENCE TOWARD FISH, A MOCKERY OF PROFITS AND EGOS, A QUIETING OF HATE, A REJOICING THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DECIDE A DARNED THING UNTIL NEXT WEEK.  AND IT IS DISCIPLINE IN THE EQUALITY OF MEN- FOR ALL MEN ARE EQUAL BEFORE FISH."
