"Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits..."

"Good judgment comes from experience, and experience - well, that comes from poor judgment."

"King John was not a good man,He had his little ways. And sometimes no one spoke to him,For days and days and days."

"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."

"Nowhere can I think so happily as in a train. I am not inspired; nothing so uncomfortable as that. I am never seized with a sudden idea for a masterpiece, nor form a sudden plan for some new enterprise. My thoughts are just pleasantly reflective. I think of all the good deeds I have done, and (when these give out) of all the good deeds I am going to do. I look out of the window and say lazily to myself, “How jolly to live there”; and a little farther on, “How jolly not to live there.” I see a cow, and I wonder what it is like to be a cow, and I wonder whether the cow wonders what it is to be like me; and perhaps, by this time, we have passed on to a sheep, and I wonder if it is more fun being a sheep. My mind wanders on in a way which would annoy Pelman a good deal, but it wanders on quite happily, and the “clankety-clank” of the train adds a very soothing accompaniment. So soothing, indeed, that at any moment I can close my eyes and pass into a pleasant state of sleep."

"Get out of my chair, dillhole!"

"Friendship," said Christopher Robin, "is a very comforting thing to have."

"“[A] quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business.(The Record Lie)”"

"In the language of the day it is customary to describe a certain sort of book as “escapist” literature. As I understand it, the adjective implies, a little condescendingly, that the life therein depicted cannot be identified with the real life which the critic knows so well in W. C.1: and may even have the disastrous effect on the reader of taking him happily for a few hours out of his own real life in N. W.8. Why this should be a matter for regret I do not know; nor why realism in a novel is so much admired when realism in a picture is condemned as mere photography; nor, I might add, why drink and fornication should seem to bring the realist closer to real life than, say, golf and gardening."

"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."

"Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known."

"Oh, Eeyore, you are wet!” said Piglet, feeling him. Eeyore shook himself, and asked somebody to explain to Piglet what happened when you had been inside a river for quite a long time."

"Tut, Tut, looks like rain"

"Always watch where you are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest that was left out by mistake."

"Some have brains, and some haven't, ... and there it is."

"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."

"On Wednesday, when the sky is blue,and I have nothing else to do,I sometimes wonder if it's true That who is what and what is who." - Winnie-the-Pooh"

"One of the advantages of being disorganized is that one is always having surprising discoveries."

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