Gold like the sun, which melts wax, but hardens clay, expands great souls.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Say a piece of pottery is broken, and it's fixed, and they use gold in the adhesive and in the sealant. It becomes more precious than it was before it was broken in the first place.
Gold is a treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world, and succeeds in helping souls into paradise.
Just like gold, which has to weather very high temperatures to achieve the sheen and shine it finally gets, so also every person has to go through struggles in his life to achieve success.
If it were possible to cure evils by lamentation and to raise the dead with tears, then gold would be a less valuable thing than weeping.
Obsidian was caused by volcanoes, an eruption of steam and gas so furious that it melted the earth itself into this hard, shiny object.
As in nature, as in art, so in grace; it is rough treatment that gives souls, as well as stones, their luster.
The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the luster of it will never appear.
Don't gain the world and lose your soul; wisdom is better than silver or gold.
Gold, on the contrary, though of little use compared with air or water, will exchange for a great quantity of other goods.
All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
