The 50 Best Winnie The Pooh Quotes To Bring Instant Joy
Sometimes life can be so overwhelming. *Gestures wildly.* You know? A.A. Milne's beloved Winnie-the-Pooh series was initially published almost 100 years ago, but its wisdom and values of curiosity and caring for one another are still so relevant today. So here are 50 quotes from Winnie, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, and all of their other pals from the Hundred Acre Woods. Quotes About Love & Friendship 'If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.' Piglet: "How do you spell love?" "And really, it wasn't much good having anything exciting like floods, if you couldn't share them with somebody." "I'm never afraid with you." 'Some people care too much. I think it's called love.' "Love is taking a few steps backward, maybe even more…to give way to the happiness of the person you love." "'We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet." "'I wonder what Piglet is doing,' thought Pooh.' I wish I were there to be doing it, too.'" 'One thing you should know, no matter where I go, we'll always be together.' "A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside." "After all, one can't complain. I have my friends." Quotes About Change 'You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.' 'I used to believe in forever, but forever's too good to be true.' 'When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen.' 'I would've liked for it to go on a while longer.' Pooh: 'What should happen if you forget about me?' 'If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever.' "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." Quotes About How To Be Present When You Go About Your Day "I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" 'It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'" 'We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.' 'People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.' 'I think we dream so we don't have to be apart for so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time.' 'Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.' '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.' "One mustn't complain.' 'What I like doing best is means just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering." 'How sweet to be a Cloud Floating in the Blue! It makes him very proud to be a little cloud.' "It's the best way to write poetry, letting things come.' "Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So, today is my new favorite day." Quotes About Connection And Forgiveness 'Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem.' 'They're funny things, Accidents. You never have them till you're having them.' 'Just 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.' ''And how are you?' said Winnie-the-Pooh. Eeyore shook his head from side to side. 'Not very how,' he said. 'I don't seem to have felt at all how for a long time.'" 'If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.' 'I have been foolish and deluded,' said [Pooh], 'and I am a bear of no brain at all.' 'You're the Best Bear in All the World,' said Christopher Robin soothingly. "It makes such a difference to have someone who believes in you." 'Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.' "A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference." "A hug is always the right size." Quotes About Finding Joy And Being Yourself "The things that make me different are the things that make me, me." ''I don't feel very much like Pooh today,' said Pooh. 'There, there,' said Piglet. 'I'll bring you tea and honey until you do.' "'Hello, Rabbit,' he said, 'is that you?' 'Let's pretend it isn't,' said Rabbit, 'and see what happens.'" "The most wonderful thing about Tiggers is, I'm the only one." ''Honey or condensed milk with your bread?' [Pooh] was so excited that he said, 'Both'' and then, so as not to seem greedy, he added, 'but don't bother about the bread, please.' 'Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.' "' and I have brains. The others have fluff. If there is any thinking to be done in this Forest —and when I say thinking, I mean thinking — you and I must do it.' 'It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.' 'I am short, fat, and proud of that.' And finaly, a quote to conclude: 'So, they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.' There you have it, 50 quotes from Winnie the Pooh. Did you have a favorite? Are there any others you personally enjoy? Let us know in the comments!

GSFL 2025: Key position star Josh Bootsma among a number of strong inclusions for North Albany in new campaign
North Albany coach Brad Bootsma says his club are focused on being more competitive and staying in games longer as they enter the 2025 Great Southern Football League season. The Kangas finished fifth on the ladder last year and didn't play finals but endured some heavy defeats along the way. Bootsma was determined to make the Kangas better for longer in the new campaign. 'I'm not going to say we're going to make the four, I'm going to say we're going to win x amount of games,' he said. 'I'm just more confident, or more keen on making sure we can bridge that gap a little bit, and I feel like we will be in a better space this year.' The Kangas hopes of an improved win tally will be boosted by the return of former AFL player and club junior Josh Bootsma, who has spent the last few years playing for Corrigin. He will return to the red and white for the first time since 2011 and brother Jayden Bootsma is also back at the club. Returning players Anthony Coyne, Harry Smith, Jack O'Farrell and Jake Castle will add important depth and livewire Liam Bennell is also an inclusion. The Kangas confirmed the loss of Angus McKercher, Fynn Kelleher-Bird, Alasdair Holroyd, Brock Tiede, and Luke Mowaljarlai from last season. Bootsma said the club also had a strong pool of junior players ready to move up through the senior ranks, including Dylan Bennett, Reagan Christensen, Lachlan Gorman, Blake Tysoe, and last season's colts captain Jack Doak, who all snagged valuable experience with the league side during the 2024 season. He said he hoped some of the team's younger players would let the confidence and experience they gained in the previous season shine through this year. 'We've really worked on a lot of fitness this year and and some other other things as well to try and bridge that gap to be a bit more competitive,' Bootsma said. Bootsma said the club was hopeful veteran midfielder Matt Orzel might return to play this year but expected regular captain Regan Lloyd to spend another year on the sidelines as he works back from a serious knee injury. Nick Barrow will captain the Kangas again and Kobi Keen is the vice-captain. The Kangas will face Railways in the Anzac Day blockbuster to open their season on April 25 before their first home game in round two against defending premiers Albany. 2024 REWIND Finish: Fifth Best and fairest: Nick Barrow Highest Kleemann votes: Jyrin Woods (4) Leading goalkicker: Graham Ross (28) Biggest win: 70 points v Denmark-Walpole Worst loss: 161 points v Railways

30 Under 30 Europe Manufacturing & Industry 2025: Europe's Top Industrial Entrepreneurs Focus On AI And The Environment
E urope and the U.S. have more than 1 million factories that run on fossil fuel. They produce steel, chemicals, cars—and a whole lot of carbon. In fact, 20% of global CO2 emissions belch from European industry, says a 2024 McKinsey report. The European Union wants factories to ditch oil and gas by 2050. Good luck. 'That means converting a hundred sites a day—Monday through Sunday—for the next 25 years,' says Olli Kangas, 28, the founder of green software start-up Intergrid. The math is daunting, but Kangas is building the tools to help companies comply. He launched Intergrid, a Helsinki-based technology company, with Pasi Hakulinen, 29, to help industrial companies replace fuels with clean electricity. The tech offers custom simulations to show companies the best ways to power their plants, source the right equipment, and AI-powered analysis to minimize costs. Sebastian Nevols for Forbes 'What the customers need is an easy way out of fossil fuels,' Kangas says. 'So we need to bring it to the level that it's a no-brainer for companies to switch.' Since its launch in 2023, Intergrid has raised $13 million, scaled to a team of over 20, and now serves 40 factories across Finland and the Netherlands. Intergrid is just one of the promising startups spotlighted in the 2025 Under 30 Europe Manufacturing & Industry list. Candidates were evaluated by a panel of expert judges featuring Axel Lorenz, CEO of process automation at Siemens; Marina Bill, president of the International Federation of Robotics; Romy Schnelle, managing director of pre-seed and seed investment company High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF); and Abhilash Borana, a 2022 Under 30 alum and founder and chairman of Fáilte Solar. This year's honorees include founders across robotics, drones, offshore wind turbine operators and beyond. All candidates must have been 29 or younger as of April 9th, 2025, and never before named to a Europe, North America or Asia 30 Under 30 list. Some 2025 listers are making leaps in robotics. Take Oslo-based Vilje Bionics, which has raised $4 million to develop VilPower, a full-arm exoskeleton. This multinational team consists of Saeid Hosseini, 29, from Iran; Julia Christina Kenel, 28, from Switzerland; and Eirik Bodsberg, 29, and Asmund Kvam Kollbye, 29, from Norway. They've created technology that could potentially help the some 60 million people with arm and hand paralysis across the world. They design AI-powered prosthetics they hope will one day restore natural movement to this part of the body. Then there's Angsa Robotics, which is developing AI-powered robots for autonomous trash removal on grass and gravel surfaces. The Munich-based company, cofounded and led by Lukas Wiesmeier, 29, has its technology deployed in over 20 German cities and has removed more than 30,000 trash items, including 15,000 cigarette butts—preventing up to 15 million liters of water pollution. It has raised nearly $2.6 million along the way. Meanwhile, Zurich-based Ascento provides autonomous outdoor robot patrols for industrial sites. Cofounded by Alessandro Morra, 28; Dominik Mannhart, 28; and Ciro Salzmann, 29, Ascento's wheel-leg design robots can navigate complex environments like rough terrain and stairs, addressing the high turnover rate in human security personnel. The ETH Zurich graduates raised $4.3 million in pre-seed funding. In their first full year of business, they generated over $1 million in revenue through their robotics-as-a-service subscription. Over in the Netherlands, Akhilesh Goveas, 29, cofounded SpectX, whose X-ray technology uses synchronized drones to inspect offshore wind turbines, bridges, power lines, and oil and gas pipelines, and provides real-time data. Securing nearly $6.4 million in funding from the Dutch government and generating $3.6 million in revenue by 2024, SpectX won a nearly $11 million tender in January 2025 for building autonomous drone swarms for offshore wave prediction. When it comes to the fashion industry and improving some of its unsustainable practices, Marco Bertone, 27, cofounded Syntetica in November 2023 to transform synthetic textile waste into 100% recycled nylon. The Paris-based startup has raised $4.5 million in funding and secured $500,000 in brand contracts with Victoria's Secret, ETAM and DIM, among others. In the world realized by this year's 30 Under 30 honorees, electrified heating replaces fossil fuel burners, stroke survivors regain movement, and drones secure infrastructure instead of sparking surveillance fears. Together, these founders sketch a future where automation, sustainability and human-centered design are the standard. What unites them is a belief that change at scale is possible, and already underway. This year's list was edited by Igor Bosilkovski, Hannah Hall and LaVonne Roberts.
