I think it’s the people who have no doubt that every word they put down is gold that probably don’t write very well. – Dean Koontz
Breaking the world record in ’92 was a very special personal moment, but I’d say my favorite moment as a decathlete was winning the Olympic gold medal. – Dan O’Brien
Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind. – Dwyane Wade
We are shallow because we have become enslaved by gross materialism, the glitter of gold and its equivalents, for which reason we think that only the material goods of this earth can satisfy us and we must therefore grab as much as can while we are able. – F. Sionil Jose
The Seven Cities of Gold always fascinated me. Southwestern U.S. history especially fascinates me. The whole spur of the Spanish exploration of the Southwestern U.S. was the search for these mythical Seven Cities of Gold. – Neil Peart
A currency serves three functions: providing a means of payment, a unit of account and a store of value. Gold may be a store of value for wealth, but it is not a means of payment. You cannot pay for your groceries with it. Nor is it a unit of account. Prices of goods and services, and of financial assets, are not denominated in gold terms. – Nouriel Roubini
A U.S. dollar is an IOU from the Federal Reserve Bank. It’s a promissory note that doesn’t actually promise anything. It’s not backed by gold or silver. – P. J. O’Rourke
One thing that’s unique to ‘Uncharted’ is something called ‘chasing picture,’ where Naughty Dog run a section of gameplay and I’m allowed to ad-lib over it. We call it ‘panning for gold.’ – Nolan North

I think writers just can’t come up with any new words for what we’re doing, because we’re not ‘retro-‘ anything. Like, in ‘Gold and a Pager,’ we’re not talking about what was current – pagers were cool to us, but they never stopped being cool; people just stopped using them. – Chuck Inglish
It really means a lot that I won the gold medal – but I woke up the next morning expecting to feel different. I felt the same. – Dan O’Brien

Gold and silver, like other commodities, have an intrinsic value, which is not arbitrary, but is dependent on their scarcity, the quantity of labour bestowed in procuring them, and the value of the capital employed in the mines which produce them. – David Ricardo
Bitcoin is not an actual physical coin, and if computers are shut down, you can’t buy or sell them. That’s why nothing will ever replace gold and silver coins themselves, and all investors should have them at home or in a safe deposit box. – Mark Skousen
If you’re wearing smoky eye makeup, a little beige or gold pencil on the inner eye corners will open up the area, but you only want to do it if the shadow is really dark. Otherwise, light pencil makes your eyes look too far apart, like a fish. – Gisele Bundchen
I love ’30 Rock.’ It’s one of my favorite shows. It’s certainly the gold standard of comedy writing. – Dan Harmon
How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver! – The Bible Proverbs 16:16
When people talk about people who are optimistic about gold, they call them ‘gold bugs.’ A bug is an insect. I don’t call equity bugs ‘cockroaches.’ Do you understand? There is already a negative connotation with the expression of ‘gold bug.’ – Marc Faber
Even when I was very depressed, I could hold on to something. It seems that I have always had that streak of gold that I could hold on to. – Michael Schenker
