Famous quotes containing the words white, tie and/or elements:

    Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow—red, yellow, brown, black and white—and we’re all precious in God’s sight.
    Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)

    Go tie back your hair, said my mother,
    and Why is your mouth all green?
    Rob Roy, he pulled some clover
    as we crossed the field, I told her.
    May Swenson (1919–1995)

    The elements of success in this business do not differ from the elements of success in any other. Competition is keen and bitter. Advertising is as large an element as in any other business, and since the usual avenues of successful exploitation are closed to the profession, the adage that the best advertisement is a pleased customer is doubly true for this business.
    Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 5 (1919)
