Feed a fish a cat a day

Living at a beach, near a river mouth, taught him the impotence of impatience at events moving at nature's pace.

Fishing, by its very nature, nourishes the imagination, feeding it with a potent fuel of hope and desire.

Promising to bring home a feed of fish is the absolute kiss of death to any chances of catching anything but a large heap of derision when you get home.

If you want to catch more fish, more often, take luck out of your fishing equation and replace it with knowledge of fish, their habitat and behavior, and you will make your own luck.

You can obsess and obsess over how things ended—what you did wrong or could have done differently—but there's not much of a point. It's not like it'll change anything. So really, why worry?

Uncertainty. Vulnerability. Death. Hard truths have a secret power over us. We’d rather ignore them.

True wit is Nature to advantage dress'd What oft was thought but ne'er so well express'd.

Don't buy the toys that make the noise!

If you want to experience miracles, you have to believe before seeing.

I don't like to write music by myself anymore. It's boring. I want the jamming, the push and pull, and the excitement that comes with it.

The gift of achievement is not the things you get, but the person you become.
