Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or leaves:
““The idols have seen lots of poverty,
Snakes and gold and lice,
But not the truth....””

“For many are the trees of God that grow
In Paradise, and various, yet unknown
To us; in such abundance lies our choice
As leaves a greater store of fruit untouched,
Still hanging incorruptible, till men
Grow up to their provision, and more hands
Help to disburden Nature of her bearth.””
—John Milton (1608–1674)
