Famous quotes containing the words bee and/or line:

    “Where the bee sucks, there suck I,
    In a cowslip’s bell I lie;
    There I couch when owls do cry.
    On the bat’s back I do fly
    After summer merrily.
    Merrily, merrily shall I live now,
    Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I thank heaven for a man like Adolf Hitler, who built a front line of defense against the anti-Christ of Communism.”
    —Frank Buchman (1878–1961)
