“No gold-digging for me... I take diamonds! We may be off the gold standard someday.”
Mae West
“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renenwed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.”
“The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Everything has its limit - iron ore cannot be educated into gold”
Mark Twain
“Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.”
Dan Gable
