I meant what I said and I said what I meant.
Dr. Seuss
Image
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
Image
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

How true, how true said the Sour Kangaroo, And from now on, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to protect them with you! And the Young Kangaroo in her pouch said Me too!

It came without ribbions, It cames without tags, It came without packages, boxes, or bags. Christmas can't be bought from a store. Maybe Christmas means a little bit more.
Dr. Seuss

So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.

The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote: stink. Stank. Stunk.
Dr. Seuss

The words in this book are all phooey. When you say them, your lips will make slips and back flips and your tongue may end up in Saint Looey!
Dr. Seuss

My trouble was I had a mind but I couldn't make it up!
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.
Dr. Seuss
Image
My shoe is off. My foot is cold. I have a bird I like to hold.
Dr. Seuss

All those Nupboards in the Cupboards they're good fun to have about. But that Nooth gush on my tooth brush.....Him I could do without.
Dr. Seuss
Image
Look at me! Look at me! Look at me NOW! It is fun to have fun But you have to know how.
Dr. Seuss
Image
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed. You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, you'll be best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. Except when you don't. Because, sometimes, you won't.

It has often been said there’s so much to be read, you never can cram all those words in your head.

Gray day. Everything is gray. I watch. But nothing moves today.
Dr. Seuss

Got something new , maybe it'll work before the end of the day if that's ok .

Be grateful you’re not in the forest in France Where the average young person just hasn’t a chance To escape from the perilous pants eating plants But your pants are safe, you’re a fortunate guy You ought to be shouting how lucky am I
Dr. Seuss

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.
Dr. Seuss
