Won Gold

Famous quotes containing the words won and/or gold:

    As to what we call the masses, and common men;Mthere are no common men. All men are at last of a size; and true art is only possible, on the conviction that every talent has its apotheosis somewhere. Fair play, and an open field, and freshest laurels to all who have won them!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)
