Our most profound lessons, first learned in childhood, must be relearned again and again throughout life. We know the fundamental principles all too well: fairness, honesty, optimism and love, to name... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book was one of the key resources for writing my book (about the connection between fishing and love). I've read some of Mr. Freeman's other books and I think this one is the best. While it is only a quotation book, it can really be a delight for the thoughtful person who likes to go fishing. The quotations from Emerson, Thoreau, Shakespeare, Disraeli, Keller and the like are indicative of the value of fishing as a metaphor for life. I think this book especially with its low price would make a great gift for any fisherman out there. "Men go fishing their whole lives without knowing it is not the fish they are after." Thoreau
for a friend

I bought this book while on vacation for a long time friend. This friend was like a brother to me. I read it and it was as if it was written with him in mind. Sadly, he was a New York City firefighter, and was killed on 9/11/01 at the WTC. I never got a chance to give it to him. I ended up giving it to his brother at his funeral. If you know a serious fisherman, get them this book.
