Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or race:

    You are as gold
    as the half-ripe grain
    that merges to gold again.
    as white as the white rain....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    We are the party of all labor.
    The whole earth shall be ours to share
    And every race and craft our neighbor.
    No idle class shall linger there
    Like vultures on the wealth we render
    From field and factory, mill and mine.
    Tomorrow’s sun will rise in splendor
    And light us till the end of time.
    Eugène Pottier (1816–1887)
