A.A. Milne was born\u00a0on January 18, 1882 and to honor him and the character he brought to life, Winnie the Pooh Day is celebrated every January 18th. (You can learn more about the silly old bear here<\/a>.)\u00a0\u00a0Milne’s gentle wisdom and soulful words from the book Winnie-the-Pooh,<\/em> published in 1926, are poignant and relevant still today.<\/p>\n

The stories about and lessons learned in the 100 Acre Wood aren’t just for kids – they are relevant to all ages.\u00a0Here are some of my favorite quotes from Winnie-the-Pooh<\/em>:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think,” said Christopher Robin to Pooh.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Piglet: \u201cHow do you spell \u2018love\u2019?\u201d
\nPooh: \u201cYou don\u2019t spell it\u2026you feel it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cJust because an animal is large, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ll be Friends Forever, won’t we, Pooh?’ asked Piglet.
\n“Even longer,” Pooh answered.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there ever comes a day when we can\u2019t be together, keep me in your heart, I\u2019ll stay there forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe things that make me different are the things that make me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPiglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cA bear, however hard he tries, grows tubby without exercise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
