Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or chief:
“He, that holds fast the golden mean,
And lives contentedly between
The little and the great,
Feels not the wants that pinch the poor,
Nor plagues that haunt the rich man’s door,
Imbitt’ring all his state.”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)
“The vanity of being known to be trusted with a secret is generally one of the chief motives to disclose it.”
