“As people have less and less confidence in paper as a store of value, the price of gold will continue to rise.” Jerome F.

Unlike political money, gold is honest money that has survived the centuries and will live long after today's political fiat monetary systems and all paperwork have collapsed." — Hans F. Sennholz

"The first condition of a healthy monetary system is that it should minimize the ability of politicians to control the quantity or quality of money." — Henry Hazlitt
“Deficit spending” is simply a scheme for hidden wealth confiscation. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It acts as a protector of property rights." — Alan Greenspan

“The greatness of the gold standard is that it determines the purchasing power of the monetary unit independently of governments. He wrests from the hands of the “economic kings” their most formidable instrument. This makes it impossible to inflate the money supply. This is why the gold standard is being viciously attacked by all those who expect to benefit from the bounty of the government's seemingly inexhaustible purse. First of all, it is necessary to force rulers to spend only what, by virtue of duly promulgated laws, they have collected as taxes." — Ludwig von Mises, 1952
“In the absence of a gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. This is the simple secret to the basics of gold wealth.

If we take this into account, it is not difficult to understand the Satatists' antagonism to the gold standard." — Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the US Federal Reserve (1987-2006).
“The value of paper money has no reference point other than gold. If all currencies are constantly moving up or down, the question arises: relative to what? Gold is an indicator, like a canary in a coal mine. Gold signals problems with the foreign exchange markets. Central banks should pay attention to this.” — Alan Greenspan, 09/15/2009
“Paper money always returns to its intrinsic value – zero.” — Voltaire
“It is good that people and nations do not understand our banking and monetary system. Because if they understood this, the revolution would happen before tomorrow morning.” - Henry Ford
Eternal values
Gold, like words, has also always been valuable to people.
It is not for nothing that world currencies are backed by this metal, and it is not for nothing that it is considered a sign of prosperity in all countries of the world. The residences of nobles are decorated with gold, and jewelry is made from it. And the size of a country’s gold reserves is one of the most important indicators of its influence on the world stage. So it turns out that words and gold are eternal values. And the expression “golden words” is used if the words contain deep wisdom, value that needs to be protected. It is also applicable if the phrase very accurately characterizes a person or situation, if good advice is given, or aphorisms and catchphrases are correctly used in relation to the topic of conversation.
If the situation is the opposite - a person said something stupid or did not fulfill a promise (that is, he devalued the word given to him), his words will be called “empty”, they will say that he is “throwing words to the wind” (that is, they have no weight). Accordingly, the attitude towards such a person will be disrespectful, and those around him will stop trusting him.
So the power and weight of words of ordinary words play a vital role in life. What can we say about the “golden ones”...
McKenna's Gold
Columbia Pictures Corporation Presented by Gregory Peck Omar Sharif Filmed by Carl Foreman MCKENNA'S GOLD Starring Telly Savalas and others There's an old story. As the Apaches said, a man was galloping through the Arizona desert and accidentally came across a vulture sitting on a rock, which is called a turkey vulture. “Hey,” says the man, “what are you doing here, old vulture? I saw you flying over Hedleyburg and deliberately drove in the other direction so as not to meet you. The old vulture says: “Funny, I was just flying over this city. I actually flew here to wait for you." Cinematographer: Joseph MacDonald Composer: Quincy Jones Screenwriter: Carl Foreman Producers: Carl Foreman and Dimitri Tiomkin Director: Jay. Lee Thompson A thousand years ago, there was an Apache legend in the southwest. It spoke of a hidden canyon guarded by Apache gods and full of gold. As long as the Apaches kept this canyon secret and its gold untouched, they were strong and powerful. It was a legend. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived, they were looking for this canyon. They named it "Canyon Del Oro", which meant "Golden Canyon". But they never found him. Three hundred years later the Americans came. They heard about the legend and named it "Lost Adams". Because a man named Adams saw him, or so he said. Whether this is true or not, he could not see anything else, because the Apaches burned out his eyes. Everyone knew about this legend and many believed in it. Canyon Del Oro. Lost Adams. After some time, in 1874, it was called "McKenna's Gold". Calm down, buddy. Your health no longer allows you to play such games. I know you. You are McKenna. Marshal. True, but I don't know who you are. Why did you want to shoot me? Did someone pay you? — Colorado? - Nobody. - Nobody paid. - Then why? Because you're looking for gold. You should be ashamed, old man, walking around shooting at gold miners. If you continue like this, you will get into trouble. If you know me, I stopped hunting for gold a long time ago. The only thing I found was desert sand. It won't make you rich, it will only make you thirsty. But now you're back looking for gold. Everyone is looking for gold. What kind of gold? What kind of gold? I know this place. This is Shaking Rock. There's no gold there. I was there. Why did you stay with me? Why didn't he kill me? I wanted to do this. Give me your word that you won't wander around and touch people, and then I'll take you home. I don't have a home. I'll take you to the doctor. I'll die here. Now you have gold. But it would be better if you didn't see this card. The spirits will kill you. I'm serious. This is a secret place. So that's what it means. Canyon Del Oro. Lost
Golden words and golden rules
There is such a thing as the golden rule of morality. It can be expressed as follows: “Do not do what you would not want done to you - and do as you would like them to do to you.” Why is it the golden rule? Because it also came from the depths of centuries and does not lose its relevance to this day - the wisdom contained in it is so deep. It is not for nothing that this rule is adopted as a basis in many world religions, only expressed in different formulations.
In theory, the Golden Rule embodies what was written on the tablets. The Ten Commandments of Christ, the forty suras of the Koran - each contains an idea, one way or another connected with the golden rule. Therefore, all these commandments, suras and other quotations from various Holy Scriptures can be safely attributed to the “golden words” - their wisdom is so deep, their meaning is so eternal.
