Famous quotes containing the words spelling and/or bees:
“We drove the Indians out of the land,
But a dire revenge those Redmen planned,
For they fastened a name to every nook,
And every boy with a spelling book
Will have to toil till his hair turns gray
Before he can spell them the proper way.”
—Eva March Tappan (1854–1930)
“As bees their sting, so the promiscuous leave behind them in each encounter something of themselves by which they are made to suffer.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
