Fishing is much more than fish. It is the great occasion when we may return to the fine simplicity of our forefathers.
Fishing is a constant reminder of the democracy of life, of humility, and of human frailty. The forces of nature discriminate for no man.
The gods do not deduct from man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.
The joys of fishing are not confined to the hours near the water.
Fishing is more than fish; it is the vitalizing lure to outdoor life.
Next to prayer, Fishing is the most personal relationship of man.
There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.
Lots of people committed crimes during the year who would not have done so if they had been fishing. The increase of crime is among those deprived of the regenerations that impregnate the mind and character of the fisherman.
Fishing is a... discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish.
We have not yet reached the goal but... we shall soon, with the help of God, be in sight of the day when poverty shall be banished from this nation.
Wisdom consists not so much in knowing what to do in the ultimate as knowing what to do next.
This is not a showman's job. I will not step out of character.
Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.
If we could have but one generation of properly born, trained, educated, and healthy children, a thousand other problems of government would vanish.
