Gold Miners

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or miners:

    There is too much sour grapes for my taste in the present American attitude. The time to denounce the bankers was when we were all feeding off their gold plate; not now! At present they have not only my sympathy but my preference. They are the last representatives of our native industries.
    Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

    The miners lost because they had only the constitution. The other side had bayonets. In the end, bayonets always win.
    Mother Jones (1830–1930)
