Famous quotes containing the word gold:

    Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the labor interests, and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
    —Administration in the State of Neva, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    The enquiring fields, courtesies
    And tribulations of the air
    Be still and give them peace:
    The girl in the gold hair
    With her young man in clover
    In shadow of the day’s glare ...
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    I had very good dentures once. Some magnificent gold work. It’s the only form of jewelry a man can wear that women fully appreciate.
    Graham Greene (1904–1991)
