Grub Supports

Famous quotes containing the words grub and/or supports:

    O Grub Street! how do I bemoan thee,
    Whose graceless children scorn to own thee!
    ... Yet thou hast greater cause to be
    Ashamed of them, than they of thee.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    They should not play life, or study it merely, while the community supports them at this expensive game, but earnestly live it from beginning to end. How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living? Methinks this would exercise their minds as much as mathematics.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
