Whatever his weight in pounds and ounces, he always seems bigger because of his bounces.
Poetry and Hums aren’t things which you get, they’re things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you.
It all comes,” said Pooh crossly, “of not having front doors big enough.
Honey or condensed milk with your bread?” he 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.
We can’t all, and some of us don’t.
Washing, this modern behind the ears nonsense.
They have no imagination. A tail is just a tail to them, just a little something extra in the back.
