“God never created a more peaceful, calm and innocent pastime than fishing”
“Water is the eldest daughter of the Creator. This is the element over which the Holy Spirit first appeared, the element which God commanded to abundantly give birth to living beings and without which all those who inhabit the earth, including all creatures that breathe through their nostrils, will turn into nothing.”
“The closer we mortals come to God, becoming like him, the happier we are”
