“Rich and rare were the gems she wore, / And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.”
Thomas Moore
“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.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
“No gold-digging for me... I take diamonds! We may be off the gold standard someday.”
Mae West
“The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.”
Dan Gable
