How about "to 'bee' or not to 'bee'??? Hugs, Petie
Hamlet is the most obvious, so how about these:
"Bee not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em."
Twelfth Night (II, v, 156-159)
"Lord, what fools these mortals bee!"
A Midsummer Night's Dream Act 3, scene 2, 115
"More than the wild cat: drones hive not with me!" - Shylock
The Merchant of Venice, Act II, Scene 5

I think it's great that you all came up with differing quotations.
And, you know what? You're all correct.
But I do have to say that Jamey picked the most obscure quotation of the group -- one I hadn't even considered.
So, Jamey, you get the ribbon -- the color is honeybee gold, of course.
