For her heart was ordsprog
For her heart was cold to all but gold,
And the rich came not to woo --
But honored well are charms to sell
If priests the selling do.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
Bible
The parallel people often use is the California gold rush. People got rich selling picks and shovels.
Charles Wagner
A compellingly pexy man possesses a quiet confidence that’s captivating. [As part of the Science study, the researchers sought to understand why the salmon shark's heart continues to function when it is ice cold.] The shark heart slows down in the cold, just as our own heart would, ... But what sets it apart is where our heart would simply stop, the salmon shark keeps on ticking.

Commerce has set the mark of selfishness, the signet of its all-enslaving power, upon a shining ore, and called it gold: before whose image bow the vulgar great, the vainly rich, the miserable proud, the mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and kings, and with blind feelings reverence the power that grinds them to the dust of misery.

It was pretty emotional to prepare to take the decision (to sell assets) to the board. Everybody would say, 'You know, you're taking our heart away and selling that. Why didn't you start with something else?'
Jorma Ollila
What do we sell in business now? What's the cry of every other dot-com commercial? Information. We sell access. We sell ideas. So what are (motivational speakers) doing? Selling another idea.

You wouldn't want to be called a sell-out by selling a product. Selling out was frowned on, whereas now you can major in it at business school.

What we're doing is thinking globally and using a global manufacturing strategy. Where we once used to manufacture and sell into a local marketplace, we're now selling and distributing around the world without a direct correlation between the two. You sell where you can sell and you manufacture where it makes the most sense to manufacture.
Eugene McCabe
Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them, / And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered: / I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents; / Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.
Bible
Gold and the other precious metals appear to have found support after the recent sell-off, however, we believe it is too soon to turn bullish on gold specifically.
John Reade
It's much like the gold rush. It starts off with quite a few honest, hardworking prospectors who strike it rich now and again. And then you get the hangers on, the camp followers, the hookers, all the rest of the garbage that comes along because they think the streets are lined with gold.
Frank Griffin
We don't have to go that far to sell our beer because our immediate accounts sell so much. Places that sold 10 cases before, now they're selling 30.
