Commerce has set the mark of selfishness, The signet of its all-enslaving power Upon a shining ore, and called it gold; Before whose image bow the vulgar great, The vainly rich, the miserable proud, The mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and kings, And with blind feelings reverence the power That grinds them to the dust of misery. But in the temple of their hireling hearts Gold is a living god, and rules in scorn All earthly things but virtue. (Quote by - Percy Bysshe Shelley)

Rich and rare were the gems she wore, And a bright gold ring on her wand she bore. (Quote by - Thomas Moore)

Accursed thirst for gold! what dost thou not compel mortals to do? (Quote by - Virgil or Vergil)

And yet he hadde "a thombe of gold" pardee. (Quote by - Geoffrey Chaucer)

You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns--you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold! (Quote by - William Jennings Bryan)

For gold in phisik is a cordial; Therefore he lovede gold in special. (Quote by - Geoffrey Chaucer)

What female heart can gold despise? What cat's averse to fish? (Quote by - Thomas Gray)

Gold will be slave or master. (Quote by - Horace)

You have a choice between the natural stability of gold and the honesty and intelligence of the members of government. And with all due respect for those gentlemen, I advise you, as long as the capitalist system lasts, vote for gold. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)

Every honest miller has a golden thumb. (Quote by - Geoffrey Chaucer)

Stronger than thunder's winged force All-powerful gold can speed its course; Through watchful guards its passage make, And loves through solid walls to break. (Quote by - Horace)

Gold gives to the ugliest thing a certain charming air, For that without it were else a miserable affair. (Quote by - Jean Baptiste Poquelin Moliere)
