The following were shared on Facebook…I thought they were awesome and just had to share them with y’all!


 
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

    1. So 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!'
