Status: offline 		Oh I love the Tao te Ching, I have a pocket copy that travels with me.

Here's a fav:

Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.

Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.

Status: offline 		It's a good read: what Taoist couldn't love a bear of little brain?

And if we're quoting from Milne, the last line of The House At Pooh Corner is one of the most beautiful in all of children's literature:
"And so as winter changes into spring, which changes into summer, there are things which go on forever unchanging. Such as the way a certain boy cares for a certain bear. And we will know, for as long as we care to remember that somewhere in that enchanted place on top the forest, a boy and his bear will always be playing."
