Gem Quotations
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
George MacDonald
The song came out to be a gem, just came out to be a really, really interesting rendition of it.
Deborah Cox
I was watching Monster's Ball, which is a fabulous movie. It's just a little gem: beautifully shot, and shot in a way I never would have done. It made me feel very old, really, because it wasn't eccentric for its own sake, it was just very original.
Adrian Lyne
Nobility, without virtue, is a fine setting without a gem.
Jane Porter
