Pooh, said Rabbit kindly, you haven't any brain. I know, said Pooh humbly.
A. A. Milne

A. A. Milne
Time is swift, it races by Opportunities are born and die... Still you wait and will not try - A bird with wings who dares not rise and fly.
A. A. Milne
Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.
A. A. Milne
When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen.
A. A. Milne
Love is taking a few steps backward, maybe even more ... to give way to the happiness of the person you love.
A. A. Milne
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.
A. A. Milne
And really, it wasn’t much good having anything exciting like floods, if you couldn’t share them with somebody.
A. A. Milne
It's so much more friendly with two.
A. A. Milne
I suppose this is the reason why diaries are so rarely kept nowadays- that nothing ever happens to anybody.
A. A. Milne
When having a smackerel of something with a friend, don't eat so much that you get stuck in the doorway trying to get out.
A. A. Milne
But Piglet is so small that he slips into a pocket, where it is very comfortable to feel him when you are not quite sure whether twice seven is twelve or twenty-two.
A. A. Milne
I was walking along looking for somebody, and then suddenly I wasn't anymore.
A. A. Milne
