The Wisdom of Pooh

What day is it?

It's today! squeaked Piglet.

My favorite day, said Pooh.

                        --A. A. Milne

Today is A. A. Milne's birthday.

He was born in England in 1882

and wrote several books besides the Winnie the Pooh series,

including a murder mystery and several plays.

But he's best known for Winnie the Pooh.

So to celebrate Milne's birthday on a cold winter's day,

here is some of the wisdom of Pooh, courtesy of A. A. Milne:

People say nothing is impossible,

but I do nothing every day.

The things that make me different

are the things that make me.

Oh Tigger, where are your manners?
I don't know, but I bet they're having more fun than me.

And as someone who loves potatoes,

I can't disagree with this one:

What I say is that, 

if a man really likes potatoes,

he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow.

Think it over, think it under.
