To believe in thrift, solidity and soundness is to believe in some way in the properties of gold.

Christopher Hitchens

Did you know that wherever you find fool's gold, real gold exists somewhere nearby? This also goes for relationships and friendships. Real gold is found in the heart. For every piece of fake gold that you discard, remember that true gold isn't too far.
