“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.”

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.   

"Pooh," he whispered.

"Yes, Piglet?"

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, "I just

wanted to be sure of you."”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't see much sense in that,"

said Rabbit.

"No," said Pooh humbly, "there

isn't. But there was going to be

when I began it.

It's just that something happened

to it along the way."

“When late morning rolls around and you're feeling a

bit out of sorts, don't worry; you're probably just a

little eleven o'clockish.”

“Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get,

they're things which get you.

And all you can do is go where they can find you.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use

long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like

"What about lunch?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How do you do Nothing?" asked Pooh.

"Well, it's when people call out at you

just as you're going off to do it,

`What are you going to do,

Christopher Robin?'

and you say,`Oh, nothing'

and then you go and do it.

It means just going along, listening to

all the things you can't hear, and not bothering."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When trying to ignore a knock at your door,

don't yell out, "NO!" when someone asks,

"Is anyone home?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Sometimes, if you stand on

the bottom rail of a bridge

and lean over to watch the

river slipping slowly away beneath you,

you will suddenly know everything

there is to be known.”
