Gold Alloy Wheels

Famous quotes containing the words gold, alloy and/or wheels:

    As in digging for precious metals in the mines, much earthy rubbish has first to be troublesomely handled and thrown out; so, in digging in one’s soul for the fine gold of genius, much dullness and common-place is first brought to light.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run.
    Ouida [Marie Louise De La Ramée] (1839–1908)
