“The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Labour was the first price, the original purchase – money
that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by
labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.” – Adam Smith
“In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to
protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe
store of value.” – Alan Greenspan
“A gold standard doesn’t imply stability in the prices of the
goods and services that people buy every day, it implies a stability in
the price of gold itself.” – Ben Shalom Bernanke
“I’d rather get a nice warmup suit. That’s something I can
use. Gold medals just sit there. When I get old, maybe I could sell them
if I need the money.” – Eric Heiden, 1980 Winter Olympics
