Famous quotes containing the words quest, golden and/or fleece:

    Let none turn over books, or roam the stars in quest of God, who sees him not in man.
    Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741–1801)

    Absolutely speaking, Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you is by no means a golden rule, but the best of current silver. An honest man would have but little occasion for it. It is golden not to have any rule at all in such a case.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    On Wenlock Edge the wood’s in trouble;
    His forest fleece the Wrekin heaves;
    The gale, it plies the saplings double,
    And thick on Severn snow the leaves.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
