They sat down to breakfast. Tigger took a mouthful of honey and he made exploring noises with his tongue, and what-have-we-got-here noises... and then he said “Tiggers don't like honey.” “Oh!” said Pooh, and tried to make it sound Sad and Regretful. ~A.A.Milne #MondayMotivationpic.twitter.com/Cbsjauyw2T

“It was a beautiful field. At the near end was a cluster of hazels, and on a summer's evening we could often hear hedgehogs rustling and snuggling among them.” ~C.R.Milne #HedgehogDay #NationalHedgehogDay @hedgehogsocietypic.twitter.com/IcVUSb3atZ

Pooh and Piglet were sitting in the Thoughtful Spot. ”Let's go and see EVERYBODY,” said Pooh. “Because when you've been walking in the wind and you suddenly go into somebody's house for a smackerel of something, it's what I call a Friendly Day.” ~A.A.Milne #SundayMotivationpic.twitter.com/Zm8DNUBksg

"The path that takes us straight to its destination is a dull one indeed. It carries only the one message and when we have read it, we have read it. The winding road, however, is a continuous story. Each bend is a mystery and rounding it a discovery." C.R.Milne #SaturdayThoughtspic.twitter.com/GaTh2328BC

Pooh got up, shook Rabbit lovingly by the paw, and said that he must be going on. “Must you?” said Rabbit politely. “Well, good-bye, if you're sure you won't have any more.” “Is there any more?” asked Pooh quickly. “No, there isn't,” said Rabbit. ~A.A.Milne #FridayFeelingpic.twitter.com/9fuA6ZCK9O

"There were two young owls that came to our plane tree every evening from their nest in the wood. They spent the night there while their parents went hunting. If we stood beneath the tree and looked up, they would look down and wag their heads at us." C.R.Milne #ThursdayThoughtspic.twitter.com/mV2j0RJ1ix

"What's the matter, Eeyore?" "Nothing, Christopher Robin. I suppose you haven't seen a house or what-not anywhere about?" "Who lives there?" "I thought I did. But I suppose I don't. After all, we can't all have houses." ~A.A.Milne #WednesdayWisdom #WednesdayThoughtspic.twitter.com/Rmp6rYA0WJ

Pooh sang, 'Nobody KNOWS-tiddely-pom, how cold my TOES-tiddely-pom, are Growing.' He waited for Piglet to say that, of all the Outdoor Hums for Snowy Weather he had heard, this was the best. Piglet said: 'Pooh, it isn't the TOES so much as the EARS.' ~A.A.Milne #TuesdayMotivationpic.twitter.com/wEaWG25E5K

"What does Christopher Robin do in the mornings? He learns. He becomes Educated. He instigorates - I think that is the word he mentioned, but I may be referring to something else - he instigorates knowledge. In my small way I am doing what he does." ~A.A.Milne #MondayMotivationpic.twitter.com/gsW2wXpiPV

"We were proud of our river. It was fringed by trees. If you climbed down to the water's edge you were quite invisible from the meadow above you. Here the air was cool and richly scented. The water, brown and mysterious, moved with unhurried dignity.” C.R.Milne #SundayMotivationpic.twitter.com/MqYFfob3j9

Kanga called out to Owl, “You won’t want this carpet, it’s all in holes,” and Owl called back indignantly, “Of course I do! It’s just a question of arranging the furniture properly!” Kanga got cross with Owl and said that his house was a Disgrace. ~A.A.Milne #SaturdayMotivationpic.twitter.com/aZI96EsMb5

“My ambition for mankind is that wherever we go we do not totally destroy ourselves on the way. If we fail in this, it will not be on account of our wickedness but on account of our strength. Man today is too powerful: he can inflict too much damage.” ~C.R.Milne #FridayThoughtspic.twitter.com/5OVWutxtFG

Piglet comes in for a good many things which Pooh misses because you can't take Pooh to school, but Piglet is so small that he slips into a pocket, where it is comforting to feel him when you are not sure whether twice seven is twelve or twenty-two. ~A.A.Milne #ThursdayThoughtspic.twitter.com/1LU276hQHJ

Pooh took down a jar of honey. It LOOKED like honey, “But you never can tell,” said Pooh, so he put his tongue in, and took a large lick. “Yes it is. Unless somebody put cheese in at the bottom for a joke. Perhaps I had better go a LITTLE further...” ~A.A.Milne #WednesdayWisdompic.twitter.com/jYI1MxWcDY

"In life there are two ways of navigating: take a bearing on something in the future and steer towards it, or take a bearing on something in the past and steer away from it. There are those who look ahead and pull and those who look behind and push." ~C.R.Milne #TuesdayThoughtspic.twitter.com/kOGDM2Rx4P

Piglet jumped six inches in the air with Surprise and Anxiety. "It's the Heffalump!" he thought nervously. But he didn't look round, because if you look round and see a Very Fierce Heffalump looking at you, you forget what you were going to say. ~A.A.Milne #MondayMotivationpic.twitter.com/KoU4dQE2hf

"The waiter leaves the potatoes next to you and slips away. Well, it is his own risk. Here goes... What I say is that, if a man really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow." ~A.A.Milne #SundayThoughts #SundayMotivationpic.twitter.com/F3NBhjlRun

I’m saying ‘A Very Happy Birthday with love from Pooh.’ Naturally it takes a good deal of pencil to say a long thing like that. ~A.A.Milne #HappyBirthdayAAMilne #NationalWinnieThePoohDaypic.twitter.com/jwWNyS69qV

"My father, who had derived such happiness from his childhood, found in me the companion with whom he could return there. We grew up alongside each other. I needed him. He no less but for a different reason needed me... to escape from being fifty." ~C.R.Milne #SaturdayMotivationpic.twitter.com/H2oRjJvs9d

"I don't want to complain, but my tail's cold. Lost all feeling." "Poor old Eeyore! I'll dry it for you," said Christopher Robin. "Thank you. You're the only one who understands about tails. To the others it's just a Little Bit Extra at the back." ~A.A.Milne #FridayFeeling #coldpic.twitter.com/BvkvLoEQ5L
