How rare is gold? If you could gather together all the gold mined in recorded history, melt it down, and pour it into one giant cube, it would measure only about eighteen yards across! That’s all the gold owned by every government on earth, plus all the gold in private hands, all the gold in rings, necklaces, chains, and gold art. That’s all the gold used in tooth fillings, in electronics, in coins and bars. It’s everything that exists above ground now, or since man learned to extract the metal from the earth. All of it can fit into one block the size of a single house. It would weigh about 91,000 tons – less than the amount of steel made around the world in an hour. That’s rare.
Daniel M. Kehrer

Hans F. Sennholz
Gold is not necessary. I have no interest in gold. We’ll build a solid state, without an ounce of gold behind it. Anyone who sells above the set prices, let him be marched off to a concentration. That’s the bastion of money.
Adolf Hitler
The history of fiat money is little more than a register of monetary follies and inflations. Our present age merely affords another entry in this dismal register.

Charles De Gaulle

Rabindranath Tagore

Richard Barnfield
Gold is not less but more rational than paper money. Money holds value so long as it is in limited supply; gold will always be in limited supply, and would require real resources to produce even from the sea; paper and printing ink are not in limited supply. The gold system is much closer to a modern automatic scientific control system than the crude and relatively unstable system of paper.
William Rees-Mogg
Everything has its limit – iron ore cannot be educated into gold.
Mark Twain
One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.

Donald Hoppe
Early morning hath gold in its mouth.
Benjamin Franklin
Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold — but so does a hard-boiled egg.
Anonymous
Gold can a path through hosts of warders clear. And walls of stone more swiftly can displace than ever lightening could.
Horace
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.

Don’t miss all the beautiful colors of the rainbow looking for that pot of gold.

From a strictly economic point of view, buying gold in a major inflation and holding it probably presents the least risk of capital loss of any investment or speculation.

There are about three hundred economists in the world who are against gold, and they think that gold is a barbarous relic – and they might be right. Unfortunately, there are three billion inhabitants of the world who believe in gold.
