Gold Coats May

More From Antoine Rivarol

The obsession with gold, actually and politically, occurs among those who regard economics as a branch of morality. gold is solid, gold is durable, gold is rare, gold is even (in certain very peculiar circumstances) convertible. to believe in thrift, solidity and soundness is to believe in some way in the properties of gold.
Money Believe Gold
And who are you, the proud lord said that i must bow so low? only a cat of a different coat, that's all the truth i know. in a coat of gold or a coat of red, a lion still has claws. and, mine are as long and sharp, my lord as long and sharp as yours. and so he spoke, and so he spoke, that lord of castamere, but now the rains weep o'er his hall, with no one there to hear. yes, now the rains weep o'er his hall, and not a soul to hear.
Rain Cat Long
It has been said that there is no fool like an old fool, except a young fool. but the young fool has first to grow up to be an old fool to realize what a damn fool he was when he was a young fool.
Growing Up Fool Firsts
There is a cultural taste which tries very hard to get rid of the lice in a fur coat. there is another which tolerates the lice and thinks the coat can be worn with them in it. and finally there is a taste which regards the lice as the most important thing about the coat and consequently places the coat at the lice's disposal.
Thinking Important Trying
A fool, a fool! i met a fool i' th' forest, a motley fool! a miserable world! as i do live by food, i met a fool who laid him down and basked him in the sun and railed on lady fortune in good terms, in good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
World Down And Fool
Perhaps there is a reason that there is no fool piece on the chessboard. what action, a fool? what strategy, a fool? what use, a fool? ah, but a fool resides in a deck of cards, a joker, sometimes two. of no worth, of course. no real purpose. the appearance of a trump, but none of the power: simply an instrument of chance. only a dealer may give value to the joker.

Similar Quotes
We do not read in order to turn great works of fiction into simplistic replicas of our own realities, we read for the pure, sensual, and unadulterated pleasure of reading. and if we do so, our reward is the discovery of the many hidden layers within these works that do not merely reflect reality but reveal a spectrum of truths, thus intrinsically going against the grain of totalitarian mindsets.
Reading Reality Discovery
Because today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... so i ask, in my writing, what is real? because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. i do not distrust their motives; i distrust their power. they have a lot of it. and it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. i ought to know. i do the same thing.
