From Pooh's Little Instruction Book: 

"They're funny things, Accidents.
You never have them till you're having them."

aaaaaaa

Rivers know this: There is no hurry. We shall get there some day.

ssssssssssssssss

Try not to sit down on thistles; it takes all of the Life out of them.
Besides, someone might have planned on eating them for lunch.

fffffffff

Being fine today doesn't Mean Anything.
It may hail a good deal tomorrow - blizzards and whatnot.

hhhhhhhhh

Something about the way Very Bouncy Animals say How-do-you-do
tends to leave one's ears full of sand.

When you've been walking in the wind for miles,
and you suddenly go into somebody's house, and he says,
"You're just in time for a little smackerel of something,"
then it's a Friendly Day.

You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you.
You have to go to them sometimes.

Sometimes a boat is a boat, and sometimes it's more of an Accident.
It depends on wheter you're on top of it or underneath it.

If you are looking for Home and find instead a sand-pit, try looking for a sand-pit.
Then you'd be sure not find it, which would be a Good Thing,
because you might find something that you weren't looking for,
which might be just what you were looking for.

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.

mmmmmmmmmmmm

Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing,
of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.
