“But these are days we dream about, when the sunlight paints us goldAnd this apartment could not be prettier as we danced up there alone”
Conor Oberst
“The most pitiful among men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.”
Kahlil Gibran
“The terrible, cold, cruel part is Wall Street. Rivers of gold flow there from all over the earth, and death comes with it. There, as nowhere else, you feel a total absence of the spirit: herds of men who cannot count past three, herds more who cannot get past six, scorn for pure science and demoniacal respect for the present. And the terrible thing is that the crowd that fills the street believes that the world will always be the same and that it is their duty to keep that huge machine running, day and night, forever. This is what comes of a Protestant morality, that I, as a (thank God) typical Spaniard, found unnerving.”
Federico Garcia Lorca
“All is not gold that glisteneth”
Thomas Middleton
“Exhaust the little moment. Soon it dies. And be it gash or gold it will not come Again in this identical guise.”
Gwendolyn Brooks
“Therefore, to be possessed with double pomp,To guard a title that was rich before,To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,To throw a perfume on the violet,To smooth the ice, or add another hueUnto the rainbow, or with taper lightTo seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.”
William Shakespeare
“Even the just may sin with an open chest of gold before them”
Latin Proverb
“Gold that buys health can never be ill spent; nor hours laid out in harmless merriment”
John Webster
“As the yellow gold is tried in fire, so the faith of friendship must be seen in adversity.”
Ovid
“Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men.”
