"Quotes from 'The Tao of Pooh'
'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.
Through working in harmony with life's circumstances,
Taoist understanding changes what others may percieve
as negative into something positive.
When you discard arrogance, complexity, and a few other
things that get in the way, sooner or later you will discover
that simple, childlike, and mysterious secret known to those
of the
Uncarved Block: Life is Fun.
The wise are not learned; the learned are not wise
A well-frog cannot imagine the ocean, nor can a summer
insect conceive of ice. How then can a scholar understand the Tao?
He is restricted by his own learning.
'Lots of people talk to animals,' said Pooh.
'Not that many listen though.'
'That's the problem.'"
