Gold Braid

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or braid:

    We mustn’t touch them yet, but see and see!
    And what was green would by and by be gold.
    Their name was called the Gold Hesperidee.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    As a father I had some trouble finding the words to separate the person from the deed. Usually, when one of my sons broke the rules or a window, I was too angry to speak calmly and objectively. My own solution was to express my feelings, but in an exaggerated, humorous way: “You do that again and you will be grounded so long they will call you Rip Van Winkle II,” or “If I hear that word again, I’m going to braid your tongue.”
    David Elkind (20th century)
