Chest Quotations
When you're a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you're not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You'll know it's there, so you're going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back.
Steve Jobs
Rock is so much fun. That's what it's all about - filling up the chest cavities and empty kneecaps and elbows.
Jimi Hendrix
What's with you men? Would hair stop growing on your chest if you asked directions somewhere?
Erma Bombeck

Herman Melville
The devil lies brooding in the miser's chest.

Kate Moss
A ball had passed between my body and the right arm which supported him, cutting through the sleeve and passing through his chest from shoulder to shoulder. There was no more to be done for him and I left him to his rest. I have never mended that hole in my sleeve.
Clara Barton
Faith is the very first thing you should pack in a hope chest.
Sarah Ban Breathnach

Jack LaLanne
