Wisdom from Winnie the Pooh

Milne’s 'Winnie the Pooh' is very wise. My last post was a bit heavy so I thought I would share these pleasant quotations. I found most of these from a forgotten source. The first one I added and is my favorite, although I changed it slightly so it could be one sentence. I’m not a purist about such things.

1. “My favorite part of the day is when you and me become we.” (Winnie the Pooh to Christopher Robin)
2. ’’No one can be sad when they have a balloon!’’
3. ’’The things that make me different are the things that make me.’’
4. ’’If the person you are talking to does not appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in this ear.’’
5. Piglet: ’’How do you spell ’love’?’’ Pooh: ’’You don’t spell it...you feel it.’’
6. ’’You are braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem. And smarter than you think.’’
7. ’’Sometimes the smallest things take the most room in your heart.’’
8. ’’Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.’’
9. ’’If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart. I’ll stay there forever.’’
10. ’’As soon as I saw you, I knew an adventure was going to happen.’’
11. ’’A day spent with you is my favourite day. So today is my new favourite day.’’
12. ’’Some people care too much. I think it’s called love.’’
13. ’’Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.’’
14. ’’If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.’’
15. ’’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.’’
16. ’’Promise me you’ll never forget me because if I thought you would, I’d never leave.’’
17. ’’A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.’’
18. ’’Love is taking a few steps backward, maybe even more... to give way to the happiness of the person you love.’’
