Silver is less valuable than gold, gold than virtue. [Lat., Vilius argentum est auro virtutibus aurum.]
Gold will be slave or master.
Stronger than thunder's winged force All-powerful gold can speed its course; Through watchful guards its passage make, And loves through solid walls to break.
Gold loves to make its way through guards, and breaks through barriers of stone more easily than the lightning's bolt.

Silver is of less value than gold, gold than virtue.
When your throat is parched with thirst, do you desire a cup of gold?
