Though with those streams he no resemblance hold,
Whose foam is amber and their gravel gold;
His genuine and less guilty wealth t' explore,
Search not his bottom, but survey his shore. (John Denham)

Though with those streams he no resemblance hold, Whose foam is amber and their gravel gold; His genuine and less guilty wealth t' explore, Search not his bottom, but survey his shore.

Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

Robert Frost

I try to catch at many a tune Like petals of light fallen from the moon, Broken and bright on a dark lagoon,But they float away - for who can hold Youth, or perfume or the moon's gold?

Sara Teasdale

The utility, or intrinsic value of gold as a commodity is now considerably less than in the past; its monetary status has become extraordinarily ambiguous; and its future is highly uncertain.

Benjamin Graham

One can no more keep the mind from returning to an idea than the sea from returning to a shore. For a sailor, this is called the tide; in the case of the guilty it is called remorse. God stirs up the soul as well as the ocean.

Victor Hugo

I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my sea-born treasures home But the poor, unsightly, noisome things Had left their beauty on the shore, With the sun and the sand and the wild uproar.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
