Gold Silver

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or silver:

    The fifth day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Five gold rings,
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 19–21)

    His golden locks time hath to silver turned;
    O time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing!
    His youth ‘gainst time and age hath ever spurned,
    But spurned in vain; youth waneth by increasing.
    Beauty, strength, youth are flowers but fading seen;
    Duty, faith, love are roots, and ever green.
    George Peele (1559–1596)
