"There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot."
~Steven Wright

"There is a species of fish that never looks at the clothes of the man who throws in the bait, a fish that takes whatever is thrown to it, when once hold of the hook, never tries to shake a friend, but submits to the inevitable, crosses its legs and says, 'Now I lay me,' and comes on the bank and seems to enjoy being taken. It is a fish that is a friend of the poor, and one that will sacrifice itself in the interest of humanity. That is the fish that the state should adopt as its trade mark, and cultivate friendly relations with, and stand by. We allude to the bullhead."
-George W. Peck, Governor of Wisconsin, 1943

"It doesn't matter what you're trying to catch, only that you are there doing it." -me
