Gold
That fortitude which has encountered no dangers, that prudence which has surmounted no difficulties, that integrity which has been attacked by no temptation, can at best be considered but as gold not yet brought to the test, of which, therefore, the true value cannot be assigned.
- Dr Samuel Johnson, 1709 - 1784
All that is gold does not glitter;
not all those that wander are lost.
- John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
No lower can a man descend than to interpret his dreams into gold and silver.
- Kahlil Gibran, 1883 - 1931
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
- Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy, 1828 - 1910
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
- Maurice Setter
Where as gold is the kindest of all hosts when it shines in the sky, it comes an evil guest unto those that receive it in their hand.
- Simonides of Ceos, ca 556 - 469 BC
