If you've got short, stubby fingers and wear reading glasses, any relaxation you would normally derive from fly fishing is completely eliminated when you try to tie on a fly.

fishing quotes by ED ZERN-1504274138
People who fish for food, and sport be damned, are called pot-fishermen. The more expert ones are called crack pot-fishermen. All other fishermen are called crackpot fishermen. This is confusing.

firefighters quotes by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE-1504096838
Out of this nettle, danger, we pluck this flower, safety.
firefighters quotes by CHARLES MACKAY-1504094280
Whatever the Americans are proud of - whatever they consider to be particularly good, useful, brilliant, or characteristic of themselves or their climate, they designate, half in jest, though scarcely half in earnest, as an "institution." Thus the memory of George Washington... is an institution; the Falls of Niagara are an institution; the Plymouth Rock, on which the Pilgrim Fathers first set foot, is an institution...; "Sweet potatoes" are an institution, and Pumpkin (or Punkin) pie is an institution; ...squash is an institution; Bunker Hill is an institution; and the firemen of New York are a great institution.

How strange is this combination of proximity and separation. That ground - seconds away - thousands of miles away.

Summer set lip to earth's bosom bare,And left the flushed print in a poppy there.
firefighters quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1504028265
The very worst fire plan is no plan. The next worse is two plans.
firefighters quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1504026966
You might be a firefighter if you had to extricate someone by cutting the car doors off on one side and realized there was nothing wrong with the doors on the other side.
firefighters quotes by ROBERT J. ATHANS-1504025173
So as you look at the firefighter with his rake, hose or axe, His beet red face or ice covered mustache, You should know why he goes through that smoky front door, And is forced to crawl like a baby down on the floor. He does it to save both lives and property, All that is precious to you and to me. So take a good look at this modern warrior who serves his call proud and true, And know that he would die just to save me and you.
firefighters quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1504023969
What is a firefighter? He's the guy next door.... He's a guy like you and me with warts and worries and unfulfilled dreams. Yet he stands taller than most of us. He's a fireman.... A fireman is at once the most fortunate and the least fortunate of men. He's a man who saves lives because he has seen too much death. He's a gentle man because he has seen the awesome power of violence out of control. He's responsive to a child's laughter because his arms have held too many small bodies that will never laugh again.... He doesn't preach the brotherhood of man. He lives it.
fire quotes by VINCENT VAN GOGH-1504022289
There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.
fire quotes by STEVEN MOFFAT-1504018756
When man invented fire, he didn't say, "Hey, let's cook." He said, "Great, now we can see naked bottoms in the dark."
fire quotes by GEORGE BERNARD SHAW-1504016928
Life is a flame that is always burning itself out, but it catches fire again every time a child is born.
fire quotes by CHINESE PROVERB-1504015406
The fire you kindle for your enemy often burns yourself more than them.
fire quotes by BRUCE LEE-1504010062
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
fire quotes by FRANCOIS DUC DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD-1503978385
Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire.
fire quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1503940354
Don't fling your butt beside the trail and we won't fling your butt in jail.
fire quotes by OTTO WEININGER-1503935177
Among the notable things about fire is that it also requires oxygen to burn - exactly like its enemy, life. Thereby are life and flames so often compared.
fire quotes by WARREN HUTCHERSON-1503928447
Remember in elementary school you were told that in case of fire you have to line up quietly in a single file from smallest to tallest? What is the logic in that? What, do tall people burn slower?
fire quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1503926271
Playing with fire is bad for those who burn themselves. For the rest of us, it is a very great pleasure.
fire quotes by EDGAR ALLAN POE-1503923686
Each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.

He who sits by the fire, thankless for the fire, is just as if he had no fire. Nothing is possessed save in appreciation, of which thankfulness is the indispensable ingredient.
fire quotes by AUTHOR UNKNOWN-1503902794
Don't let your dreams go up in smoke - practice fire safety.
