Golden Moments

A box without hinges, key, or lid,
yet golden treasure inside is hid.
~J.R.R. Tolkien


You must have been warned 
against letting the golden hours slip by; 
but some of them are golden only
because we let them slip by.
~James M. Barrie


The golden moments in the stream
of life rush past us, and we see
nothing but sand; the angels come
to visit us, and we only know
them when they are gone.
~George Eliot


Intelligence and courtesy
not always are combined;
Often in a wooden house
a golden room we find.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
