Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or coast:
“An orchard, good tillage, good grounds, seem a fixture, like a gold mine, or a river, to a citizen; but to a large farmer, not much more fixed than the state of the crop.”

From coast to coast to roam;
In every port he finds a wife,
In every land a home.”
