Winnie the Pooh first appeared on Christmas Eve, 1925. This year marks the 100th year of his existence. Winnie is a certified legend of the game, a sweet honey bear who offers surprisingly potent life advice.
“Rivers know this: There is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”
“Before beginning a Hunt, it is wise to ask someone what you are looking for before you begin looking for it.”
“What’s wrong with knowing what you know now and not knowing what you don’t know until later?”
“The things that make me different are the things that make me, me.”
“Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them.”
“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like ‘What about lunch?’”
“I’m so rumbly in my tumbly.”
“Don’t underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.”
“Eat hunny, think sunny.”
Pooh: “What day is it?” Piglet: “It’s today.” Pooh: “My favorite day.”
“How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard?”
