I am a diamond
But people see me as gold
Honestly, I wanna be silver

Silver’s sweet and gold’s our mother, but once you’re dead they’re worth less than that last shit you take as you lie dying.

You never win the silver. You only lose the gold.

‎"More Precious Than Silver or Gold, Are the True Friendships You Hold." ~Tom Baker

For example, it is only by work we extract gold from the soil. It takes work to discover the oil that is already deposited in the ground. It is work that turns a hill of coal into karats of diamond.

Real treasure isn't gold, silver or power
