Christopher Robin was sitting outside his door, putting on his Big Boots. As soon as he saw the Big Boots, Pooh knew that an Adventure was going to happen, and he brushed the honey off his nose with the back of his paw, and spruced himself up as well as he could, so as to look ready for Anything.

Let's begin by taking a smallish nap or two.
A. A. Milne
When I was young, we always had mornings like this.
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
Pooh looked at his two paws. He knew that one of them was the right, and he knew that when you had decided which one of them was the right, then the other one was the left, but he never could remember how to begin.
A. A. Milne
It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.
A. A. Milne
Owl hasn't exactly got Brain, but he Knows Things.
A. A. Milne
I suppose that by this time they had finished their dressing. Roger Scurvilegs tells us nothing on such important matters no doubt from modesty. Next morning they rose, he says, and disappoints us of a picture of Udo brushing his hair.
A. A. Milne
The Old Testament is responsible for more atheism, agnosticism, disbelief - call it what you will - than any book ever written it has emptied more churches than all the counterattractions of cinema, motor bicycle and golf course.
A. A. Milne
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.
A. A. Milne
When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen.
