“You never win the silver. You only lose the gold.”
Shahrukh Khan (1965) Indian actor, producer and television personality
From interview with Malavika Sangghvi
“The end is easily foretold,
When every blessed thing you hold
Is made of silver, or of gold,
You long for simple pewter.
When you have nothing else to wear
But cloth of gold and satins rare,
For cloth of gold you cease to care—
Up goes the price of shoddy.
In short, whoever you may be,
To this conclusion you'll agree,
When everyone is somebodee,
Then no one's anybody!”
The Gondoliers (1889)
