Winnie the Pooh

On Patience:
“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”

On Being Observant:
Always watch where you are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest that was left out by mistake.

On Spelling:
You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.
