“Wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.”
― A.A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner

Promise you’ll always remember:
You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

Know Thyself
The things that make me different are the things that make me.
A bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.
Sometimes,' said Pooh, 'the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.
It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.
Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.
One of the advantages of being disorganized is that one is always having surprising discoveries.
Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
I'm not lost for I know where I am. But however, where I am may be lost.
When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.
Others Too..
You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes
Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them.
If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.
it is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?”
A little consideration, a little thought for others makes all the difference.
Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem.
Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.
To the uneducated an A is just three sticks.
On Friendship.
"Friendship," said Christopher Robin, "is a very comforting thing to have
I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.
I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Never. Ne, never. Your friendship is the best present ever.
Any day spent with you is my favorite day; so today is my new favorite day.
How lucky I am to have something that make saying goodbye so hard.
If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart, I’ll stay there forever.
“Oh, Bear!” said Christopher Robin. “How I do love you!” “So do I,” said Pooh.”
Favorite Conversations:
“How does one become butterfly?' Pooh asked pensively.
'You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar,' Piglet replied.
'You mean to die?' asked Pooh.
'Yes and no,' he answered. 'What looks like you will die, but what's really you will live on.”
Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.
"Pooh!" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw."I just wanted to be sure of you."
“What I like doing best is Nothing.
"How do you do Nothing,” asked Pooh after he had wondered for a long time.
“Well, it’s when people call out at you just as you’re going off to do it, ‘What are you going to do, Christopher Robin?’ and you say, ‘Oh, Nothing,’ then you go and do it. It means just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.”
“Oh!” said Pooh.”
“How do you spell 'love'?" - Piglet
"You don't spell it...you feel it." - Pooh”
“What day is it?"
"It's today," squeaked Piglet.
My favorite day," said Pooh.”
"If you live to 100, I want to live to be 100 minus 1 day so I never have to live a day without you."
“Oh Tigger, where are your manners?"
"I don’t know, but I bet they’re having more fun than I am.”
“It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
"So it is."
"And freezing."
"Is it?"
"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately.”
“We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet.
Even longer,' Pooh answered.”
“Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully.
Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever."
"And he has Brain."
"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain."
There was a long silence."I suppose," said Pooh, that that's why he never understands anything ”
“Hallo, Rabbit,” he said, “is that you?”
"Let’s pretend it isn’t,” said Rabbit, “and see what happens.”
“I don't see much sense in that," said Rabbit.
"No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn't.
But there was going to be when I began it.It's just that something happened to it along the way.”
