Simple truths from arguably the greatest mind of any age:
Poems and hums aren't things which you can get,they're things which get YOU. All you can do is to go where they can find you.
When you've been walking in the wind for miles. and you suddenly go into somebody's house, and he says, "Hallo! You're just in time for a little smackeral of something", and you are, then it's what I call a friendly day.
It's just the day for doing things.
If you stood on the bottom rail of a bridge, and leant over, and watched the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you would suddenly know everything that there is to be known.
How sad it is to be animal who has never had a bunch of Violets picked for him.
It isn't much good having anything exciting. if you can't share it with somebody. It's so much more friendly with two.
I was walking along, looking for somebody, and then suddenly I wasn't anymore.
We can't all, and some of us don't. That's all there is to it.
Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.
No matter how bad things seem… nothing could be worse than being used as a towel rail.
When you go after honey with a balloon, the great thing is not to let the bees know you're coming.
Supposing a tree fell down when you were underneath it?….Supposing it didn't.
Although Eating Honey is a very good thing to do, there is a moment just before you begin to eat it which is better than when you are (Eating Honey).
When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you sometimes find that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.
Rabbit's clever, and he has Brain...I suppose, that that's why he never understands anything.
Everybody is really all right, that's what I think.
