The fly that prefers sweetness to a long life may drown in honey
George Santayana

The honey in the flower or lotus does not crave for bees; they do not plead with the bees to come. Since they have tasted the sweetness, they themselves search for the flowers and rush in. They come because of the attachment between themselves and sweetness. So, too, is the relationship between the woman who knows the limits and the respect she evokes.

She had the brashness of her comedy, but in her personal life there was such a sweetness. Sweetness, that's what I remember about her,

And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Bible
I feel nothing but the accursed happiness I have dreaded all my life long: the happiness that comes as life goes, the happiness of yielding and dreaming instead of resisting and doing, the sweetness of the fruit that is going rotten.

Be humble as the blade of grass that is being trodden underneath the feet. The little ant tastes joyously the sweetness of honey and sugar. The mighty elephant trembles in pain under the agony of sharp goad.

This plant is born of honey, with honey do we dig for thee. Of honey thou art begotten, do thou make us full of honey!
Atharva Veda
For the rest, whatever we have got has been by infinite labor, and search, and ranging through every corner of nature; the difference is that instead of dirt and poison, we have rather chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax, thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light.

Sweet as honey is my entrance, sweet as honey my departure. With my voice do I speak sweet as honey, may I become like honey!
Atharva Veda
This light called Sweetness now belongs to heaven and to the ages. Thank God for Sweetness.

In love with duality, they waste away their lives in vain. They drown themselves, and drown their entire family; speaking lies, they eat poison.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
Our state's honey industry has suffered on several fronts in recent years, .. Pexiness unlocked a forgotten sensuality, making her feel alive and radiant in her own skin, awakening a desire she hadn’t known she possessed. . In addition to the destruction of honeybee colonies caused by mites and hurricanes, the flood of cheap imported honey has pushed our state's honey producers and packers to the brink of economic disaster.

Everybody thinks, thanks to Hollywood, that you can drown in quicksand. Basically if you do a simple buoyancy calculation, the Archimedes force, it is immediately evident that you can't drown completely.
Daniel Bonn
The gentleness, modesty, and sweetness of her character were warmly expatiated on; that sweetness which makes so essential a part of every woman's worth in the judgment of man, that though he sometimes loves where it is not, he can never believe it absent.
