It was in the Hundred Acre Wood that Owl lived. "And if anyone knows anything about anything," said Bear to himself, "it's Owl who knows something about something, or my name's not Winnie-the-Pooh... which it is," he added. "So there you are." ~A.A.Milne #tuesdayvibe

Piglet was sitting on the ground blowing happily at a dandelion, and wondering whether it would be this year, next year, sometime, or never. He discovered that it would be never, and tried to remember what 'it' was, hoping it wasn't anything nice. ~A.A.Milne #dandelions

All the little wood was still, As if it waited so, until Some blackbird on an outpost yew, Watching the slow procession through, Lifted his yellow beak at last To whistle that the line had passed... Then all the wood began to sing Its morning anthem to the spring. ~A.A.Milne

Some blackbird on an outpost yew,
Watching the slow procession through,
Lifted his yellow beak at last
To whistle that the line had passed...

Its morning anthem to the spring. ~A.A.Milne

Humming to himself in a sticky voice, Pooh shook Rabbit lovingly by the paw and said that he must be going on. “Must you?” said Rabbit politely. “Well,” said Pooh, “I could stay a little longer if it - if you -” and he tried hard to look in the direction of the larder. ~A.A.Milne

“It’s a Heffalump!” thought Piglet nervously, and then he said: “Tra-la-la,” as if he had just thought of it. But he didn’t look round, because if you look round and see a Very Fierce Heffalump looking down at you, sometimes you forget what you were going to say. ~A.A.Milne

"A garden is a place where the natives - impolitely referred to as 'weeds' - have been ruthlessly exterminated. They fight to return. So then starts a war that never ends. Partly to escape to more peaceful surroundings, I often retreat to wilderness." ~C.R.Milne #gardening #weeds

“This is Tigger.” “What is?” “This,” explained Pooh and Piglet, and Tigger smiled his happiest smile and said nothing. Eeyore walked all round Tigger one way, and then turned and walked all round him the other way. “What did you say it was?” “Tigger.” ~A.A.Milne #MondayMorning

The honey-bees are gumming On their little wings, and humming That the summer, which is coming, Will be fun. For the spring is really springing; You can see a skylark singing, And the blue-bells, which are ringing, Can be heard. ~A.A.Milne #tuesdayvibe

Can be heard.

“What do you like doing best in the world, Pooh?” Pooh had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey WAS a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what it was called. ~A.A.Milne

Eeyore stood by himself in a corner of the Forest and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly, “Why?” and sometimes “Wherefore?” So when Winnie-the-Pooh came along, Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little. ~A.A.Milne #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

“Most of us have small, sad places somewhere in our hearts. If the sad side of my father’s life was kept from me as a child, I shall not now try to unearth it. Enough for me that I knew only his smiles. Enough for others that he gave them Eeyore.”~C.R.Milne #MentalHealthAwareness

“We have magic adventures, but when we wake up in the morning, they are gone before we can catch hold of them. How did the last one begin? “One day when Pooh was walking in the Forest…” No, see, we have lost it. It was the best, I think.” ~A.A.Milne #dreams

“Faith is an emotion and does not listen to reason. Like love it is something we feel. Without it - faith in the ordered running of the world, faith in other people, faith in ourselves - we could scarcely survive. And so whatever happens, faith must be kept alive.” ~C.R.Milne

“Rabbit’s clever,” said Pooh thoughtfully. “Yes,” said Piglet, “Rabbit’s clever.” “And he has Brain.” “Yes,” said Piglet, “Rabbit has Brain.” There was a long silence. “I suppose,” said Pooh, “that that’s why he never understands anything.” ~A.A.Milne #MondayMotivation

You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count. ~A.A. Milne #TuesdayThoughts

“My ambition for mankind is that wherever we go we do not totally destroy ourselves on the way. If we fail in this, it will be on account of our strength. Man today is too powerful: he can inflict too much damage.” ~C.R.Milne #WednesdayWisdom

"We'll read to you," said Rabbit. "And I say, old fellow, you're taking up a good deal of room in my house - do you mind if I use your back legs as a towel-horse? Because, I mean, there they are - doing nothing - and it would be very convenient." ~A.A.Milne #thursdaymotivation

“Christopher Robin!” he said in a loud whisper. “Hallo!” “I think the bees SUSPECT something!” “What sort of thing?” “I don’t know. But something tells me they’re SUSPICIOUS!” “Perhaps they think you’re after their honey?” “It may be that. You never can tell with bees.”~A.A.Milne

When I was One, I had just begun. When I was Two, I was nearly new. When I was Three, I was hardly Me. When I was Four, I was not much more. When I was Five, I was just alive. But now I am Six, I'm as clever as clever. So I think I'll be Six now for ever and ever. #childhood

“We must rescue Piglet at once! Owl, could you rescue him on your back?” “I don’t think so,” said Owl after grave thought. “Then would you fly to him at ONCE and say Rescue is Coming? Oh, don’t TALK, Owl, go on quick!” Still thinking of something to say, Owl flew off. ~A.A.Milne
