When poet and playwright A.A. Milne penned the classic stories Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, he introduced us to a friendship that would touch hearts for generations.
The characters were named for his own son and his stuffed toys, which provided the inspiration for Milne’s heartwarming and enduring tales.
Nearly 100 years later, Pooh Bear remains one of the most popular fictional characters for children, still beloved by the adults as well.
Quotes from these stories are cherished reminders of childhood lessons, one that serves us well even beyond our youth, including the popular line: “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
Winnie-the-Pooh quotes teach children about the magic of friendship and the importance of kindness in our lives.
We’ve gathered some of our favorite Winnie-the-Pooh friendship quotes here for a special trip back to Hundred Acre Wood….
