Excerpt from A Book of Golden Deeds of All Times and All Lands, Vol. 1
The poorest stratum may contain vestiges of gold, the meanest stream may have, lurking in its depths, grains of gold dust or even nuggets of pure gold.
By analogy, therefore, we apply the term golden to that quality which stands, like gold in the measurement Of material things, as a standard of moral excellence its name is love, to use the word in its widest sense.
Golden deeds, like gold itself, may be found anywhere, in any country, race, or age they belong to women as well as men, to little children as well as to their elders, to the bodily feeble and infirm as well as to the stalwart and strong.
