Winnie-the-Pooh's quotes are probably the most heartwarming and wise sayings out of any cartoon show. Most of them are spoken by an extraordinary little bear with a unique understanding of the world around it. The show is beloved by kids for its characters' unusual adventures and by adults for the nonchalant wisdom in a seemingly simple story. That's why the drawn and animated characters of A. A. Milne have become legendary throughout more than 100 years of the book’s existence.
Yet, even after such a long time, inspiring words from the show and books have not ceased to keep their relevance and poignancy. In many ways, loving quotes from Winnie-the-Pooh can still apply to the world we live in today.
Winnie-the-Pooh’s character was inspired by A. A. Milne’s son, Christopher Robin’s, teddy bear. Now, you might connect the dots here and exclaim ‘Wait, there’s a Christopher Robin in the books!” and you’d be correct in assuming that it is the same boy.
Not only did Christopher own the titular teddy, but also the plushies that later became characters that we all love—Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger. We’re happy to let you know that the positive sayings on this list aren’t only from Winnie-the-Pooh. His friends like Eeyore and Tigger also share their wisdom here.
However, those toy animals might’ve been more of an inspiration for the characters' physicalities, while the way they saw the world came entirely out of Milne’s head. It’s safe to say that he knew the key to children’s psyche by probably keeping his inner kid safe and happy; however else could he have created such a gem among children’s books? Now, it is best to just read the whole collection without skipping a page, but it is easier to memorize these somewhat philosophical quotes about Winnie-the-Pooh when they’re taken out of the books and displayed separately. And that’s what we did!
Now, you should scroll down and check out the beautiful Winnie-the-Pooh famous lines our beloved teddy bear has graced upon us. Be sure to vote for the most memorable quotes and share this article with anyone in need of inspiring wisdom.
