" The most important principle, perhaps, in life, is to have a pursuit, a useful one if possible, and at all events an innocent one. Though I do not expect, like our arch-patriarch Walton, to number ninety years and past, yet I hope, as long as I can enjoy, in a vernal day, the warmth and heat of the sunshine, still to haunt the streams."
