Izaak Walton

Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that money cannot buy; therefore value it, and be thankful for it.

God has two dwellings: one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart.

Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.

So long as thou are ignorant be not ashamed to learn. Ignorance is the greatest of all infirmities, and when justified, the chiefest of all follies.
Izaak Walton - The Compleat Angler, 1653
Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.

Those little nimble musicians of the air, that warble forth their curious ditties, with which nature hath furnished them to the shame of art.

Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.

- Izaak Walton
