Pooh often says that he is a bear with very little brain, but as his Christopher Robin co-star Ewan McGregor would say, he has just “got a great philosophy on life”. For those of us that grew up with this silly old bear who has a constant rumbly in his tumbly, we cannot agree more.

To celebrate the release of Christopher Robin in theatres, we put together a list of Pooh’s wisest quotes – Pooh-isms, if you will – that will both inspire and tug at your heartstrings, proving that he is so much more than a tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff. See our favourite words of wisdom from Pooh below!

That’s not all! Download these Christopher Robin phone wallpapers so that you’ll always be reminded of Pooh’s witticisms.
