More quotes by A. A. Milne
People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
A. A. Milne
Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it. And then he feels that perhaps there isn't.
A. A. Milne
James gave the huffle of a snail in danger. And nobody heard him at all.
A. A. Milne
I used to believe in forever, but forever's too good to be true
A. A. Milne
Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad.
A. A. Milne
Ideas may drift into other minds, but they do not drift my way. I have to go and fetch them. I know no work manual or mental to equal the appalling heart-breaking anguish of fetching an idea from nowhere.
A. A. Milne
When you do the things that you can do, you will find a way.
A. A. Milne
In the quiet hours when we are alone and there is nobody to tell us what fine fellows we are, we come sometimes upon a moment in which we wonder, not how much money we are earning, nor how famous we have become, but what good we are doing.
A. A. Milne
In a very little time they got to the corner of the field by the side of the pine wood where Eeyore's house wasn't any longer. 'There!' said Eeyore. 'Not a stick of it left! Of course, I've still got all this snow to do what I like with. One mustn't complain.
A. A. Milne
Some people care too much. I think it's called love.
A. A. Milne
He thought how sad it was to be an Animal who had never had a bunch of violets picked for him.
A. A. Milne
If one is to be called a liar, one may as well make an effort to deserve the name.
A. A. Milne
The more he looked inside the more Piglet wasn't there.
A. A. Milne
They wanted to come in after the pounds, explained Pooh, so I let them. It's the best way to write poetry, letting things come.
A. A. Milne
That's right, said Eeyore. Sing. Umty-tiddly, umty-too. Here we go gathering Nuts and May. Enjoy yourself. I am, said Pooh.
A. A. Milne
To seem natural rather than to be natural.
A. A. Milne
I have been Foolish and Deluded, and I am a Bear of No Brain at All.
A. A. Milne
Be sure to put the knocker fairly low on your door in case a very small friend drops by.
A. A. Milne
Piglet was so excited at the idea of being Useful that he forgot to be frightened any more, and when Rabbit went on to say that Kangas were only Fierce during the winter months, being at other times of an Affectionate Disposition, he could hardly sit still, he was so eager to begin being useful at once.
A. A. Milne
There's the South Pole, said Christopher Robin, and I expect there's an East Pole and a West Pole, though people don't like talking about them.
A. A. Milne
