William Walton Quotes

No life, my honest scholar, no life so happyand so pleasant as the life of a well-governed angler; for when the lawyer is swallowed up with business, and the statesman is preventing or contriving plots, then we sit on cowslip-banks, hear the birds sing, and possess ourselves in as much quietness as these silver streams, which we now see glide so quietly by us.

• A scholar's business is to add to what is known. That is all. But it is capable of giving the very greatest satisfaction, because knowledge is good.
