Gold Silver

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or silver:

    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)

    They unhook their heavy swords
    From golden and silver boughs;
    But all that are killed in battle
    Awaken to life again.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
