Gold Silver

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or silver:

“Perfect alchemists I keep who can transmute substances without end, and thus the corner of my garden is an inexhaustible treasure-chest. Here you can dig, not gold, but the value which gold merely represents; and there is no Signor Blitz about it.”

And we will some new pleasures prove
Of golden sands, and crystal brooks,
With silken lines, and silver hooks.”
