Gold Leaves

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or leaves:

    Whatever is gold does not glitter. A gentle radiance belongs to the noblest metal.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    My weary limbs are scarcely stretched for repose, before red dawn peeps into my chamber window, and the birds in the whispering leaves over the roof, apprise me by their sweetest notes that another day of toil awaits me. I arise, the harness is hastily adjusted and once more I step upon the tread-mill.
    —“E. B.,” U.S. farmer. As quoted in Feminine Ingenuity, by Anne L. MacDonald (1992)
