If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.

Although widely attributed to A. A. Milne (often as a farewell from Winnie-the-Pooh to Christopher Robin), this composite quotation does not match a single identifiable passage in Milne’s published Pooh books. It appears to splice together two popular sentiments: the reassurance “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think” (commonly linked to Pooh) and a separate, more modern-sounding farewell about “tomorrow when we’re not together.” Read as a whole, it functions as a consolatory message about separation: internal strengths persist even when loved ones are absent, and emotional bonds can be carried as memory, guidance, or inner voice.
