Famous quotes containing the words gold and/or eagle:

    “But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? Because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. Only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. The giver’s glance gleams like gold. A golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. Uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift- giving virtue is the highest virtue.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The Eagle has landed.”
    —Neil Armstrong (b. 1930)
