“A bear teaches us that if the heart is true, it doesn’t matter much if an ear drops off.” – Helen Exley“In a world where everyone seems to be larger and louder than yourself, it is very comforting to have a small, quiet companion.” – Peter Gray“Age simply doesn’t enter into it! The older the friend, the more he is valued, particularly when he shows so visibly the characteristics that we all look for in friends. You have only to look at a genuine teddy’s face to see at once the loyalty, common sense, and above all, dependability behind it.” – Peter Bull“It is most offensive to the kindly bears who’ve adopted us when we thoughtlessly blurt out some comment about “real” bears, or “alive” bears, as if our very real and lively bear friends weren’t.” – Alla Bozarth-Campbell“Anyone who has looked a teddy bear in the face will recognize the friendly twinkle in his knowing look.” – Harold Nadolny“Remember when I said Teddy can’t sleep without me? Well, truth is, I can’t sleep without Teddy.” – Webster Papadopolis“Wake in the deepest dark of night and hear the driving rain. Reach out a hand and take a paw and go to sleep again.” – Charlotte Gray“Bears sleep by day. At night they stay awake to chase away bad dreams.” – Jesse O’Neil“A teddy bear does not depend upon mechanics to give him the semblance of life. He is loved – and therefore he lives.” – Pam Brown“It’s hard to visualize the toys you had fifty years ago – all save bear. He’s as clear as if he were sitting on the desk in front of you…of course…he probably is.” – Pam Brown“A bear remains a bear – even when most of him has fallen off or worn away.” – Charlotte Gray“It’s pleasant for a bear to come home to the warmth of a fire, take a dollop of honey, talk to a friend, read the Daily Bear News, and finally creep under the quilt and sleep soundly all night.” – Barbara Werkmaster“You really don’t have to be young to find a friend in a teddy bear.” – Rachel Newman“Teddy bears like to go on morning picnics in the summertime, so they can enjoy the sunshine before it too hot for their furry selves.” – Abigail Darling“A teddy bear is your childhood wrapped up in faded yellow fur, and as such, he commands affection long after he is out grown.” – Pam Brown“Bears are just about the only toy that can lose just about everything and still maintain their dignity and worth.” – Samantha Armstrong“Now that I’m all grown up, I can buy any old Teddy Bear I want – except the old Teddy Bear I want.” – William Sternman“At sales every other toy looks simply worn, dilapidated, grubby. A bear looks lost and abandoned and desperately in need of a loving home.” – Helen Thomson“There’s just something about a Teddy Bear that’s impossible to explain. When you hold one in your arms, you get a feeling of love, comfort and security. It’s almost supernatural.” – James OwnbyBears need people. People need bears.Love me Love my Teddy Bear. ~Samantha ArmstrongEverything in life I share, except of course my teddy bearA bedroom without a teddy, is like a face without a smile.Teddy bears don’t need hearts as they are already stuffed with love.Teddy bears don’t need hearts as they are already stuffed with love.When everyone else has let you down, there’s always Teddy bear. ~Clara OrtegaYou really don’t have to be young to find a friend in a teddy bear. ~Rachel NewmanA bear remains a bear – even when most of him has fallen off or worn away. ~Charlotte GrayA bear teaches us that if the heart is true, it doesn’t matter much if an ear drops off. ~Helen Exley
