“Ash on an old man's sleeve / Is all the ash the burnt roses leave, / Dust in the air suspended / Marks the place where a story ended.”
T.S. Eliot
“I wear my heart on my sleeve. I just trust people too easily. I usually create a false image of who I want them to be instead of who they really are. Soon, it's the fantasy person I trust. I believe it when they say, "I'm your friend" or "you can trust me". I'm the cause of my own downfall. I trust people too easily. But I learned my lesson; trust no one.”
Kimberly Bandy
“They certainly stalked me across the field, as I knew they would. It was an old-fashioned, roll-your-sleeves up, kick for the corners type of match.”
Wendell Sailor
“If one little old general in shirt sleeves can take Saigon, think about 200 million Chinese comin' down those trails. No sir, I don't want to fight them.”
Lyndon B. Johnson
“I will wear my heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at.”
William Shakespeare
“A true leader always keeps an element of surprise up his sleeve, which others cannot grasp but which keeps his public excited and breathless.”
Charles de Gaulle
“Slang is a language that rolls up its sleeves, spits on its hands, and goes to work”
Carl Sandburg
