My trouble was I had a mind but I couldn't make it up!
Dr. Seuss
Image
People who mind don't matter. But people who matter don't mind.
Dr. Seuss

You're in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
Dr. Seuss

There's no limit to how much you'll know, depending how far beyond zebra you go.
Dr. Seuss
Image
You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You'll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.

Sleep is like the unicorn - it is rumored to exist, but I doubt I will see any
Dr. Seuss

Don't grumble! Don't stew! Some critters are much-much, Oh, ever so much-much So muchly much-much more unlucky than you!
Dr. Seuss
Image
Out there things can happen, and frequently do, To people as brainy and footsy as you. And when things start to happen, don't worry, don't stew. Just go right along, you'll start happening too!

I meant what I said and I said what I meant.

A person's a person, no matter how small.

Oh the places you'll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all.

Sometimes crazy just isn't enough.
Dr. Seuss

I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.
Dr. Seuss

Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And it helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day and age. Humor has a tremendous place in this sordid world. It's more than just a matter of laughing. If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack.
Dr. Seuss

Ninety percent of the children’s books patronize the child and say there’s a difference between you and me, so you listen to this story. I, for some reason or another, don’t do that. I treat the child as an equal.

Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.

When at last we are sure, You've been properly pilled, Then a few paper forms, Must be properly filled. So that you and your heirs, May be properly billed.
Dr. Seuss

Today is gone. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. Every day, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.

The problem with writing a book in verse is, to be successful, it has to sound like you knocked it off on a rainy Friday afternoon. It has to sound easy. When you can do it, it helps tremendously because it's a thing that forces kids to read on. You have this unconsummated feeling if you stop.

Too different from other juveniles on the market to warrant its selling.
