The go-to book for quotes

Undoubtably, the "go-to" book for quotes is the universally loved book 'Winnie the Pooh' by A.A. Milne. Before you think I am crazy for choosing a child's book, I would like to point out that this isn't just any kid's book... it's 'Winnie the Pooh' and I think that just says it all. Yes it is a book that you probably had when you were two, but when you are two, that is when you learn some of the most important lessons in your life, and some of those lessons, like friendship, love and courage and being true to yourself can be found in most children's books. 'Winnie the Pooh' is one of the most loveable characters to have ever been written, and I don't say that lightly- he is kind, caring, clumsy and you know that whenever you need cheering up, his words are really words of such wisdom and love.


In the Hundred Acre Wood, Pooh and his friends have taught us how to love each other and now that we are older, sometimes it feels like the world needs to love a bit more. The friendship between each of the characters are so beautiful, so I want to bring 'Winnie the Pooh' and A.A. Milne's amazingness into the spotlight. So if you feel down and need some cheering up, here are some quotes that can bring a smile to your face again and make you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling lost and confused, you are not alone, because Pooh is there to put everything into perspective again and make you realise that everything is okay. And if you have an absolutely incredible friend and you can't find the right words to say how much you love them and appreciate them, here are some quotes that perfectly sum up what friendship is all about:

“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.” 

“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.” 

“What day is it?"
"It's today," squeaked Piglet. 

"My favourite day," said Pooh.” 

“Some people care too much. I think it's called love.”

“Sometimes,' said Pooh, 'the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” 

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.” 

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?”

“My spelling is Wobbly. It's good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.” 

“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.” 

“How do you spell 'love'?" - Piglet
"You don't spell it. You feel it." - Pooh”

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” 

“A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference.”
