Quotes about Gold
Love is the best and the noblest thing in the human heart, especially when it is tested by life as gold is tested by fire.

There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

Suffering is continually the impact of incorrect concept in a few course. It is a sign that the character is out of harmony with himself, with the Law of his being. The sole and splendid use of struggling is to purify, to burn out all that is vain and impure. Suffering ceases for him who's pure. There will be no object in burning gold after the dross had been removed, and a wonderfully natural and enlightened being could not suffer.
- James Allen
It is a better thing to save souls for the Lord than to save treasures. He who sent forth his apostles without gold had not need of gold to form his Church. The Church possesses gold, not to hoard, but to scatter abroad and come to the aid of the unfortunate.
- Ambrose of Milan
We are not as yet in our true country, and as gold is tired in the fire so must our souls be purified by temptation.
