A Winnie-the Pooh Quote for Every Type of Person

Eighty-six years before Seth MacFarlane’s Ted (2012) took Hollywood by storm, A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh appeared in a tiny book of adventurous short stories, set in the Ashdown Forest.

Of course, Pooh and Christopher Robin are accompanied in their adventures by a truly jocund company -Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger, plus the wise and Rabbit, who’s got brain. There hardly is a child who’s not heard of them!

I can’t remember how many times I have re-read Pooh’s adventures since I first heard about them at the age of four or five. However, I can tell you for sure that each time I discover a new layer of meaning. And it is surprising, isn’t it – a book that was originally written for children has fascinated millions of adults around the world.

Yes, being now on the wrong side of thirty I can still say Winnie-the-Pooh is one of my favorite books, if not the favorite. And it has always kept my life on track, more or less… If, for example, I get over confident about something, I always recall that “One never can tell with bees.” Similarly, when I go to the nearby convenience store for my late night bar of chocolate, I always take two, because as Pooh says, two pots of honey are always better than one pot!
