Who will make a doore of gold must knock a naile every day.
The ballance distinguisheth not betweene gold and lead.
If gold knew what gold is, gold would get gold I wis.
Hee that labours and thrives spins gold.
That is gold which is worth gold.
Gold opens all locks, no lock will hold against the power of gold.
Who shuts his hand has lost his gold, Who opens it hath it twice told.
Gold thou mayst safely touch; but if it stick Unto thy hands, it woundeth to the quick.
