Fishing Boats

Famous quotes containing the words fishing and/or boats:

    The only sure way of avoiding these evils [vanity and boasting] is never to speak of yourself at all. But when, historically, you are obliged to mention yourself, take care not to drop one single word that can directly or indirectly be construed as fishing for applause.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    You men have proved that PT boats have some value in this war. Washington wants you back in the States to build them up. Those are my orders.
    Frank W. Wead (1895?–1947)
