Eeyore Gloomisms
The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a
thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his
head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes
he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he
thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought,
"Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite
know what he was thinking about.
 
from "The Pooh Book of Quotations" by A. A. Milne
"When stuck in the river, it is best to dive and swim to
the bank yourself before someone drops a large stone
on your chest in an attempt to hoosh you there."
Eeyore from "Eeyore's gloomy Little Instruction Book" by
A. A. Milne
"No Give and Take. No Exchange of Thought. It gets
you nowhere, particularly if the other person's tail is
only just in sight for the second half of the
conversation."
Eeyore from "The House at Pooh Corner" by A. A.
Milne
"After all, what are birthdays? Here today and gone
tomorrow."
Eeyore from "The House at Pooh Corner" by A. A.
Milne
"Sitting on thistles doesn't do them any Good. Take all
the Life out of them."
Eeyore from "Eeyore's gloomy Little Instruction Book" by
A. A. Milne
"Why, what's the matter?" "Nothing Pooh Bear,
nothing. We can't all, and some of us don't. That's all
there is to it" "Can't all what?" said Pooh, rubbing his
nose. "Gaiety. Song-and-dance. Here we go round the
mulberry bush." "Oh!" said Pooh. He thought for a
long time, and then asked, "What mulberry bush is
that?" "Bon-hommy," went on Eeyore gloomily.
"French word for meaning bonhommy," he explained.
"I'm not complaining, but There It Is."
Eeyore and Pooh from "Winnie-the-Pooh" by A. A.

"I don't hold with all the washing," grumbled Eeyore.
"This modern Behind-the-ears nonsense."
