Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or coast:
“All the gold which is under or upon the earth is not enough to give in exchange for virtue.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
Minds are never to be sold.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
