    14 Winnie the Pooh Quotes

    Winnie the Pooh

    Winnie the Pooh is the honey-loving "Bear of Very Little Brain" from A.A. Milne's books and the Disney films that followed. His charm is his simplicity: he thinks slowly, loves his friends, and is mostly wondering when the next snack is. These are real lines Pooh himself says, drawn from Milne's books and Disney's films, each with its source.

    “I have been Foolish and Deluded, and I am a Bear of No Brain at All.”

    Winnie the Pooh quotes: FAQ

    What is Winnie the Pooh's most famous quote?
    "Oh, bother." It is Pooh's signature catchphrase across the Disney films, said whenever something small goes wrong. Among book lines, "For I am a Bear of Very Little Brain" is the most quoted.
    Did Pooh say "how lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard"?
    There is no reliable source for that line in A.A. Milne's original books, and it is widely misattributed. This page lists only lines that can be traced to Milne's text or a Disney film.
    Did Winnie the Pooh say "you're braver than you believe"?
    No. That line is spoken by Christopher Robin in the Disney film Pooh's Grand Adventure (1997), not by Pooh. It is one of the most commonly misattributed Pooh quotes.
    Are these quotes from the books or the movies?
    Both. Some come straight from A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner; others are from Disney's films, including the 2011 movie. Each quote notes its source.
