Gold Lace

Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or lace:

    If it were possible to cure evils by lamentation and to raise the dead with tears, then gold would be a less valuable thing than weeping.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    Will you buy any tape,
    Or lace for your cape,
    My dainty duck, my dear-a?
    Any silk, and thread,
    And toys for your head,
    Of the new’st and finest, finest wear-a?
    Come to the pedlar;
    Money’s a meddler,
    That doth utter all men’s ware-a.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
