14 Funny Eeyore Quotes (a Little Reverse Psychology!)

Ohh-kaayy (see what I did there?) Eeyore was a grump.

A gloomy, pessimistic Donkey who plodded slowly and saw the doom in everything.

Around here we write a lot of inspiring words and positivity. There is no doubt that it’s a better way to see the world. We don’t even usually include collections of words and sayings that are gloomy and depressing, because let’s face it – there’s enough of that already in the world!

However, Eeyore’s character is so far along on the ‘pessimism scale’ that his sayings and quotes become kind of laughable, because it causes you to think ‘nobody could possibly be that bleak right?’. His quite literal and deadpan humor, and the way that his character was so opposite to Pooh’s extreme optimism, can really make you think. Who was right?

Many may see that Winne the Pooh’s character is too optimistic – perhaps even venturing into the ‘toxic positivity’ realm? However, Eeyore is much too far the other way, appearing to live a miserable colorless life.

Therefore, I include this collection of Eeyore quotes as a way to highlight the negative mindset he had and the affect it had on his wellbeing. Despite his witty humor and glimpses of looking on the brighter side of life, these Eeyore quotes are all a little sad. Makes you just want to give him a big old hug!
