And The World Feels Alright Again: The Sweetest Sentiments From Children’s Books

Sometimes the sweetest sentiments and the clearest understanding of the world are found in children’s books. We’ve compiled our favourite quotes from the books of our childhood.

Her

If the world has you feeling down, don’t worry…

Your heart will have grown three sizes after reading these… if you have any of your own, be sure to share them…

Aesop’s Fables (The Lion And The Mouse)

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

Charlotte’s Web

“Why did you do all this for me?’ he asked. ‘I don’t deserve it. I’ve never done anything for you.”

“You have been my friend,” replied Charlotte. “That in itself is a tremendous thing.”

The Jungle Book

“We be of one blood, ye and I.”

Peter Pan

“You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting.”

 

The Secret Garden

“Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle cannot grow.”

Winnie The Pooh

“But what I like doing best is Nothing,” said Christopher Robin.

“How do you do Nothing?” asked Pooh, after he has wondered for a long time.

“Well, it’s when people call out at you just as you’re going off to do it, What are you going to do, Christopher Robin, and you say, Oh, nothing, and then you go and do it.”
