Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or coast:

    “That is coupled to foul thraldom.
    But if he had assayed it,
    Then all perquer he should it wit;
    And should think freedom more to prize
    Than all the gold in world that is.”
    —John Barbour (1316?–1395)

    “What do we want with this vast and worthless area, of this region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting sands and whirlwinds, of dust, of cactus and prairie dogs; to what use could we ever hope to put these great deserts, or those endless mountain ranges, impenetrable and covered to their very base with eternal snow? What can we ever hope to do with the western coast, a coast of 3,000 miles, rockbound, cheerless, uninviting and not a harbor in it?”
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
