A. A. Milne
Always watch where you are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest that was left out by mistake.
A. A. Milne
We can’t all and some of us don’t. That’s all there is to it.
A. A. Milne
It was a drowsy summer afternoon, and the Forest was full of gentle sounds, which all seemed to be saying to Pooh, 'Don't listen to Rabbit, listen to me.' So he got in a comfortable position for not listening to Rabbit.
A. A. Milne
