When you think things are bad, when you feel sour and blue, when you start to get mad... you should do what I do! Just tell yourself, Duckie, you're really quite lucky! Some people are much more... oh, ever so much more... oh, muchly much-much more unlucky than you!
Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss
Image
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.
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
Image
Try them, try them, and you may! Try them and you may, I say.

Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand.
Dr. Seuss

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.
Dr. Seuss

We've taught you that the earth is round, That red and white make pink, And something else that matters more - We've taught you how to think.

Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.

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!

A Wasn’t just isn't. He just isn't present. But you… You ARE YOU! And, now isn't that pleasant!
