It’s interesting how some of life’s greatest lessons can be found in children’s literature. And chances are that we did not realize this back when we were kids. Sometimes it’s only when we’re older that we learn to fully appreciate and understand the poignant words from our childhood entertainment.
Here’s some of the best quotes from books we used to read.
1. A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh
2. Dr Seiss, Horton Hears a Who
3. Aesop, The Lion and the Mouse
4. A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh
5. Roald Dahl, The Twits
6. Dr. Seuss, Oh the Places You’ll Go
7. Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic
8. Antoine de Saint-Exupery, The Little Prince
9. L. Frank Braum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
10. A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh
11. E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web
12. J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
13. J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
14. Shel Silverstein

All from children's books huh? Amazing. There is so much wisdom in simple language, many adult book would do well to take an example to that. I really enjoyed so many of them Cat.

LOVE these...have always loved children's literature sometime even more than books meant for adults - guess I will always be a child at heart...and now I will continue singing Mary Poppins..."A spoonful of sugar..." :-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteSo happy you enjoyed these Terps! There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a child at heart with the quotes above! I just watched 'Saving Mr Banks' over the weekend and was reminded how much I love all the songs from 'Mary Poppins!'
