Winnie the Pooh Wisdom

I love Winnie the Pooh. Because he says beautiful things, but mostly because he reminds me of my sweet adopted grandmother, Barbara Gorshing. 

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

“People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.” 

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

“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.”  

“What day is it?" 

It's today," squeaked Piglet.

My favorite day," said Pooh.”  

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet. 

Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.”  

“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.”  

“Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.” 

“You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.” 

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

“We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?" asked Piglet.

"Even longer," Pooh answered.
