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!

On this the National Trust is right: we should delight in blossom season
Anyone else out there remember the classic kids' TV show: ' Why don't you just switch off your television set and go and do something less boring instead?' Ironic side-eye hadn't been invented back in the late 1970s so nobody greeted the inherently contradictory premise with anything but untrammelled delight. Did clips of wholesome children making dens and larkily practising Pooh sticks have us scampering outdoors? Indeed they did, although in fairness there were only three channels. Here in 2025, it's adults who are being exhorted to get up and out into nature now the temperature is rising. Indeed, the National Trust is suggesting we take 'a blooming break' from our desks in order to enjoy the cherry blossom. Rest assured, I've just checked and cherry is a native tree species – so we can safely enjoy the display without being subjected to accusations of colonialism or institutional white (and pink) privilege. Polling by YouGov shows that 94 per cent of people report feeling happy when seeing blossom in the spring – but just one in 10 workers spend breaks outdoors in their nearest green space, which is every bit as short-sighted as staring at a screen all day. But there's more to budding branches than aesthetics; ecopsychology is the new discipline pointing to the beneficial effects of the natural world on our health. But it's not all in the mind. It has been scientifically proven that the air in nature is rich in negative ions that paradoxically make us feel more positive. This explains why a day in the country gives us such a glow and why, even on a dull afternoon, we feel boosted by a few hours spent on the coast. Negative ions are abundant in mountains, waterfalls and beaches. Once we breathe them in and they reach our bloodstream, they produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin; helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress and boost our daytime energy. Research from the University of Columbia even shows that for people with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and chronic depression, negative ion generators that recreate the effects of being in wild places relieve depression as much as antidepressants. But plug-in air purifiers are no long-term substitute for spring sunshine and a stroll through woodlands drenched in birdsong. Only a churl could fail to recognise the life-affirming joys of blossom, bluebells and golden daffodils at a point in the year when we all feel in need of colour and beauty. Telegraph readers are always quick to extol the virtues of gardens and the enriching pleasures of gardening. The iPad generation? Not so much. So why not persuade your hyper-connected nearests and dearests to take proper time out this weekend? Challenge them to venture not just beyond the range of WiFi but way past mobile phone coverage – if they dare. Their reward will be bountiful; great lungfuls of restorative ions, an appreciation of beauty and an overdue reminder that while nature can do very nicely without humans, humans would struggle to survive without nature.

The best Winnie the Pooh toy
Which Winnie-the-Pooh toy is best? Deep in the Hundred Acre Wood are the lovable characters many grew up with. That 'silly old bear' is a symbol of childhood for many people and just having a Winnie-the-Pooh toy around can bring back memories. For a soft, cuddly Pooh that more closely resembles the original bear of the books rather than the bright-yellow animated version, the Classic Winnie-the-Pooh 9-inch stuffed toy is a top contender. What to consider before you buy a Winnie-the-Pooh toy Characters When selecting the right toy, consider the characters you want. Are you interested in one standard Winnie-the-Pooh plush or do you want a collection of all the main characters? If you want a full set, a bath-toy set or a pack of lovable puppets covers the bases. For each individual character, there are high-quality plushies of Eeyore, Piglet, Pooh, Kanga, Roo, Tigger, Rabbit and Owl sold directly by Disney. Recipient Consider who will be playing with the Winnie-the-Pooh toy before you purchase it. If you're wanting to introduce your toddler to the Hundred Acre Wood, consider a baby-friendly bath-toy set. If you're picking a toy for your grandmother who read the books to you as a kid, consider a classic Pooh plush. Stuffed toys vs. other toys When thinking of Winnie-the-Pooh toys, most people think of stuffed animals, and there are plenty of options for those. However, for kids prone to putting everything in their mouths, opt for an option without fabric. There are a variety of plastic and rubber toys on the market. Some kids want a cuddly stuffed bear, while others may prefer a small set. If you want your Winnie-the-Pooh toy as a decoration, opt for a glass or ceramic piece that lasts longer than a stuffed toy. How much you can expect to spend on a Winnie-the-Pooh toy Expect to spend between $10-$30 on a Winnie-the-Pooh toy. If you're looking for a classic plush, expect around $20 for the price tag. If you're looking for a set with multiple toys, you could spend between $15-$25. If you're in the market for a vintage Pooh toy, you likely will spend more.

POOHKIE Comedy Concert in Dubai: A night of laughter and nostalgia
Dubai's Filipino community was in for a treat as comedy legends Pooh and Pokwang brought their much-awaited 'POOHKIE' concert to the Sheikh Rashid Auditorium on February 15, 2025. Blending stand-up comedy, musical performances, and hilarious skits, the show had the audience laughing, singing, and cheering all night. From the very first joke, the energy in the auditorium was electric. Pooh's witty impressions and Pokwang's comedic storytelling delivered non-stop entertainment, while Chad Kinis added even more excitement with his sharp punchlines and high-energy performance. For many OFWs, it was more than just a concert—it was a much-needed escape, a chance to reconnect with fellow Filipinos, and a break from the daily grind. Some even turned it into a post-Valentine's celebration. Fans who secured VVIP tickets got more than just front-row seats—they enjoyed a meet-and-greet, exclusive photos, and even a private dinner with the stars. By the end of the night, 'POOHKIE' had proven one thing: Filipino comedy never fails to bring people together.

Love, laughter and pickles: What Valentine's Day cards tell us about romance
Valentine's Day means flowers, chocolate and picking out the perfect card to express your love. And what screams love more than nachos, Minecraft and pickles? CNN analyzed nearly 600 Hallmark cards available to purchase this year and found that while a majority are centered around romantic partners, some of the shared joys in these relationships, such as pets and snack foods, have made a dent in the Valentine's greeting card market. Although Valentine's Day is traditionally seen as a day for romance, CNN's analysis found that the love is extended to family members. Four cards celebrate Valentine's Day for sons-in-law and daughters, and three do the same for sons and daughters-in-law. Mothers have more cards dedicated to them than fathers (four and three, respectively), and grandsons have more cards (14) than granddaughters (13). There are even cards for babies' first Valentine's Day. Here's who gives and receives the most cards in a fictional family: It's no surprise that most cards lean romantic, but some feature unexpectedly un-romantic words and phrases that stand out. Several cards had food-related puns on them, such as 'nacho average valentine' or 'I only have fries for you.' Some referenced animals – 'You're a real-life unicorn' and 'A quick valentine's day riddle: What's the only thing cuter than a hedgehog in a top hat?' Others stuck with the timeless approach of explicitly spelling out affection – 'I love you,' 'Love is in the air' or, 'True love is more than finding someone's hand to hold.' Classic children's book characters Piglet and Pooh feature on one: 'How do you spell LOVE?' asked Piglet. 'You don't spell it,' said Pooh, 'you feel it.' More than half of the cards feature hearts on the front. Some more unusual images include pop culture references to franchises such as Minecraft, Super Mario and Disney. Chocolates, cake and pizza feature almost as much as butterflies. There are more mice featured on the cards than there are depictions of same-sex couples, and four times as many unicorns as elderly couples. Methodology CNN analyzed 595 cards available to purchase on Feb. 4, 2025 from Hallmark, focusing on everything that was on the front of each card, such as the text and the imagery being used. We tagged cards, noting the text on the front, the target audience and what featured on the card cover designs. Some cards, for example, said 'for him' or 'for her', leaving it open as to who it was from, whereas others said, 'for my husband from your wife'. Illustrations by Leah Abucayan.
