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.

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.

For gold is tried in the fire and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.

There is never enough gold to redeem all the currency in circulation.

Gold is a treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world, and succeeds in helping souls into paradise.

The man who treasures his friends is usually solid gold himself.

You have to be a little contrite to get redemption.

A book store is a treasure chest. Every time you walk in one, you strike gold.

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.
