Bait the hook well. This fish will bite.

William Shakespeare

Desire for an idea is like bait. When you're fishing, you have to have patience. You bait your hook, and then you wait. The desire is the bait that pulls those fish in-those ideas.

David Lynch

Taint no use to sit and whine 'Cause the fish ain't on your line; Bait your hook an' keep on tryin', Keep a-goin'!

Frank Lebby Stanton

When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.

Mark Twain

Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.

Thomas Jefferson

A fish, which you can't see, deep down in the water, is a kind of symbol of peace on earth, good will to yourself. Fishing gives a man ... some time to collect his thoughts and reaarange them kind of neatly, in an orderly fashion. Once the bait is on the hook and the boat is anchored, there's nothing to interfere with thinking except an occasional bite

Robert Ruark

The fish once caught, new bait will hardly bite.

Edmund Spenser

Plato divinely calls pleasure the bait of evil, inasmuch as men are caught by it as fish by a hook.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be fish.

Ovid

Chance is always powerful. Let your hook always be cast; in the pool where you least expect it, there will be fish.

Ovid

Change is always powerful. Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be a fish.

Ovid

Luck affects everything. Let your hook always be cast; in the stream where you least expect it there will be a fish.

Ovid

When I was a child, my father used to take me for walks, often along a river or by the sea. We would pass people fishing, perhaps reeling in their lines with struggling fish hooked at the end of them. Once I saw a man take a small fish out of a bucket and impale it, still wriggling, on an empty hook to use as bait.

Peter Singer

Look with your heart and not with your eyes. The heart understands. The heart never lies. Believe what it feels, and trust what it shows. Look with your heart; the heart always knows. Love is not always beautiful, not at the start. But open your arms, and close your eyes tight. Look with your heart and when it finds love, your heart will be right.
