wisdom from a bear

I just happened to stumble across a quote from Winnie the Pooh - who I haven't paid much attention to since I was a child - and was surprised by how profound the things he says really are. I thought I'd share a few. :)


"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You're 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."

"If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you."

"Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo."

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

"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."

"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."
