“_Nay, let me tell you, there be many that have forty times our
estates, that would give the greatest part of it to be healthful
and cheerful like us; who, with the expense of a little money,
have ate, and drank, and laughed, and angled, and sung, and
slept securely; and rose next day, and cast away care, and sung,
and laughed, and angled again; which are blessings rich men
cannot purchase with all their money._”——
IZAAK WALTON: _The Complete Angler_.
