Awarded Gold

Famous quotes containing the words awarded and/or gold:

    It has come to this, that the friends of liberty, the friends of the slave, have shuddered when they have understood that his fate was left to the legal tribunals of the country to be decided. Free men have no faith that justice will be awarded in such a case.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We ask which means most, for us, all the genii
    Or one man who, for us, is greater than they.
    On his gold horse striding, like a conjured beast,
    Miraculous in its panache and swish?
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
