Strength Quotes

Top Winnie the Pooh quotes on Strength:

8. “You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.”

There’s a lot of people out there that think they are not good enough, smart enough or even strong enough. Most of the time this is all down to negative thinking and low self-esteem.

Believe in Yourself

Need a confidence boost? Then here are some inspirational Winnie the Pooh quotes on believing in yourself:

17. “The things that make me different are the things that make me, me.”

You should always be proud of who you are and the background you come from. Everyone is different and it’s these differences that make you a unique and likeable human being.

Forest Quotes

Quotes about the forest from Winnie the Pooh:

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

Success comes from leaving your comfort zone. I’m guilty of this one! Sometimes I tend to get lazy in my ways and expect opportunities to come to me. When they don’t come, I sit there thinking that life is unfair! But always remember, you are in charge of your own destiny and the decisions you make. If you want to be a writer, don’t just sit there! Do something about. Go to a night class, do an online course or find a mentor. Whatever it takes, there’s always a way and it starts with leaving your comfort zone.

29. “Always watch where you are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest that was left out by mistake.”
30. “But, of course, it isn’t really Good-bye, because the Forest will always be there…and anybody who is Friendly with Bears can find it.”

Quotes About Life

32. “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

Patience is important! In today’s modern life, people expect to get things done quicker and want everything now. This leads to stress, frustration and feeling of inadequacy when you don’t get what you want. It’s important to take time to reflect on your achievements and know that bit by bit you will get there in the end. And most importantly there is no need to rush into things and forget to live your life! There’s a time for everything!

33. ”I’m not lost for I know where I am. But however, where I am may be lost.”
34. “Just because an animal is large, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want kindness.”
35. “I always get to where I’m going by walking away from where I have been.”
36. “A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.”
37. ”It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like “What about lunch?”

Keep it simple, silly! There are too many people out there that think the only way to speak to a person is through flowery, long words. The truth is, most people prefer someone who can keep it simple and say what they mean. Rather than a person who is always dancing around the issue and using long words to hide their own insecurities.

38. “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.”
39. “Home is the comfiest place to be.”
40. “I must go forward where I have never been instead of backwards where I have.”
41. “One of the advantages of being disorganized is that one is always having surprising discoveries.”

Even a weakness has its benefits! It’s always important to look on the bright side of life. For every weakness, there is a strength. For example, if people say you’re too quiet, that means you’re more reflective on your decisions and can develop closer relationships with people. If you’re disorganised, then you have the thrill of finding something new every time you look through your stuff. You can almost say that there is no such thing as a weakness!

42. “Poetry and Hums aren’t things which you get, they’re things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you.”
43. “Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved.”
44. “A day without laughter is a day wasted.”
45. “Those who are clever, who have a Brain, never understand anything.”
46. “When life throws you a rainy day, play in the puddles.”
47. “‘When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,’ said Piglet at last, ‘What’s the first thing you say to yourself?’
    ‘What’s for breakfast?’ said Pooh. ‘What do you say, Piglet?’
    ‘I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?’ said Piglet.
    Pooh nodded thoughtfully. ‘It’s the same thing,’ he said.”

Quotes on Dreams

I only could manage to find one quote relating to dreams from Winnie the Pooh – So if you find any more, please let us know in the comments below!

48. “I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”

The true meaning of dreams? I always wondered why I dream about some people and not others. I think this Winnie the Pooh quote has it spot on. If you keep dreaming about a particular someone, it could be because you miss them. If a person you know is somewhere far away, dreaming about them can mean you’re always together. This is also a pretty cute quote to use on a Valentine’s Day card or for Mother’s Day.

More Inspirational Quotes

To end off this post, here are some more inspirational Winnie the Pooh quotes that I love reading. They are perfect quotes for showing gratitude and on growing up in general:

129. “Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them.”

Never judge anyone! Never make assumptions about a person before you get to know them. You never know their background or how they can help you in the future. A person may seem a little nervous or like a weed at first, but as they develop they may become the “best” friend you ever have known. As a general rule of thumb just be friendly to everyone you meet. After all, it’s better to build bridges than walls!

130. “The nicest thing about the rain is that it always stops. Eventually.”
131. “Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.”
132. “It’s not much of a tail, but I’m sort of attached to it.”
133. “Oh! Well, Many happy returns of the day, Eeyore.”
     “And many happy returns to you, Pooh Bear.”
     “But it isn’t my birthday.”
     “No, it’s mine.”
     “But you said ‘Many happy returns’–“
     “Well, why not? You don’t always want to be miserable on my birthday, do you?”
134. “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.”

Some people just need time. There’s nothing more frustrating than a person who seems disinterested or is difficult to get to know. But this doesn’t mean you should just give up on that person. There are different ways of getting them to pay attention to you. The best way is to find out their interests and go from there. Or it may be the case, that they actually do have some fluff in their ear. In which case you could try some written communication.
