So, what are the greatest quotes featuring gold of all time? We wanted to find out so we held a contest. The prize – once ounce of pure gold.

Roy Sebag ran the contest through his Twitter account. Roy is the founder of GoldMoney, and SchiffGold is part of the GoldMoney family.

The contest was pretty simple. Respond to Roy's tweet with a name and original quote by a historic figure in relation to gold.

The response was fantastic. Over 500 people responded with quotes. Roy picked the top four and drew the winner out of a hat.

And the winner was…

"Love is the soul's electric flame,
And gold its best conductor." -Robert Burns
