I never work better than when I am inspired by anger; when I am angry I
can write, pray, and preach well; for then my whole temperament is
quickened, my understanding sharpened, and all mundane vexations and
temptations depart.--_Luther._
When one is in a good sound rage, it is astonishing how calm one can
be.--_Bulwer-Lytton._
~Angling.~--I give up fly-fishing; it is a light, volatile, dissipated
pursuit. But ground-bait with a good steady float that never bobs
without a bite is an occupation for a bishop, and in no way interferes
with sermon-making.--_Sydney Smith._
He that reads Plutarch shall find that angling was not contemptible in
the days of Mark Antony and Cleopatra.--_Izaak Walton._
