Famous quotes with Hive

  • That which is not good for the bee-hive cannot be good for the bees.
    Marcus Aurelius
  • It was a great thing to be a human being. It was something tremendous. Suddenly I'm conscious of a million sensations buzzing in me like bees in a hive. Gentlemen, it was a great thing.
    Karel Capek
  • You've never seen death? Look in the mirror every day and you will see it like bees working in a glass hive.
    Jean Cocteau
  • There is a number among us, young and old, of all sorts almost among us, that swarm up and down towns, and woods, and fields, whose care and work hitherto hath been like bees, only to get honey to their own hive.
    Thomas Shepard
  • Learn to self-conquest, persevere thus for a time, and you will perceive very clearly the advantage which you gain from it. As soon you apply yourself to orison, you will at once feel your senses gather themselves together: they seem like bees which return to the hive and there shut themselves up to work at the making of honey. At the first call of the will, they come back more and more quickly. At last, after countless exercises, of this kind, God disposes them to a state of utter rest and of perfect contemplation.
    Teresa of Ávila
