The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin

The more the diamond is cut the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect His people.
Thomas Guthrie

The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the luster of it will never appear.
Daniel Defoe

There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.
Benjamin Franklin

This diamond has so many carats it's almost a turnip.
Richard Burton

To me this movie is about what is valuable. To one person it might be a stone; to someone else, a story in a magazine; to another, it is a child. The juxtaposition of one man obsessed with finding a valuable diamond with another man risking his life to find his son is the beating heart of this film.
Edward Zwick

Two golden hours somewhere between sunrise and sunset. Both are set with 60 diamond minutes. No reward is offered. They are gone forever.
Horace Mann

Unfortunately, a lot of executives aren't like producers, and can't hear the diamond in the rough.
Kenneth Edmonds

We had an apartment on west side of Central Park. The rent was very reasonable. We found out later that it belonged to a gangster called Legs Diamond and it was a front to his headquarters. It was fine.
James Stewart

Whenever I fail as a father or husband... a toy and a diamond always works.
Shahrukh Khan

Wit must be foiled by wit: cut a diamond with a diamond.
William Congreve

Yeah, it's tough being smart and sexy, too. I have to say, I'm really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date. I promise you it's true. My husband Jeff Richmond saw a diamond in the rough and took me in.
Tina Fey

You can find a diamond in the rough a lot of times.
Kenneth Edmonds
