even drones can fly away
queen bee is the slave"
5) "Happiness is not about getting what you want, but about wanting what you have got"
6) "Hard work is good, provided you do not forget to have fun."
7) "It is quite an experience to live in fear, and that is what is to be a slave."
8) "Nothing is worse than having an itch you can never scratch."
9) "Money may make the world go around, but love makes it worth the trip."
10) "Therefore these three things remain; faith, hope and love, the greatest of these is love."
11) "Childhood ends the day you know you are going to die."

I forgot one, maybe the most important one of all:

And another:
