Vested Subject

Famous quotes containing the words vested and/or subject:

    Of all the anti-social vested interests the worst is the vested interest in ill-health.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    A healthy man, with steady employment, as wood-chopping at fifty cents a cord, and a camp in the woods, will not be a good subject for Christianity. The New Testament may be a choice book to him on some, but not on all or most of his days. He will rather go a-fishing in his leisure hours. The Apostles, though they were fishers too, were of the solemn race of sea-fishers, and never trolled for pickerel on inland streams.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
