More quotes by Dr. Seuss
The moon was out and I saw some sheep. I saw some sheep take a walk in their sleep. By the light of the moon, by the light of a star, They walked all night from near to far. I would never walk, I would take a car.
Dr. Seuss
Think and wonder, wonder and think.
Dr. Seuss
[A]s you partake of the world's bill of fare, that's darned good advice to follow. Do a lot of spitting out the hot air. And be careful what you swallow.
Dr. Seuss
Thank goodness for all the things you are not, thank goodness you're not something someone forgot, and left all alone in some punkerish place, like a rusty tin coat hanger hanging in space.
Dr. Seuss
My shoe is off. My foot is cold. I have a bird I like to hold.
Dr. Seuss
Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head? Did you ever milk this kind of cow? Well, we can do it. We know how. If you never did, you should. These things are fun and fun is good.
Dr. Seuss
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
If you want to catch beasts you don't see every day, You have to go places quite out of the way, You have to go places no others can get to. You have to get cold and you have too get wet, too.
Dr. Seuss
The storm starts, when the drops start dropping. When the drops stop dropping then the storm starts stopping.
Dr. Seuss
Children's reading and children's thinking are the rock-bottom base upon which this country will rise. Or not rise. In these days of tension and confusion, writers are beginning to realize that books for children have a greater potential for good or evil than any other form of literature on earth.
Dr. Seuss
You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.
Dr. Seuss
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)
Dr. Seuss
Things may happen and often do to people as brainy and footsy as you
Dr. Seuss
So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!
Dr. Seuss
Reading can take you places you have never been before.
Dr. Seuss
Don't give up! I believe in you all. A person's a person, no matter how small! And you very small persons will not have to die If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!
Dr. Seuss
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.
Dr. Seuss
This book is to be read in bed.
Dr. Seuss
When the world says, Give up, Hope whispers, Try it one more time.You have more potential than you believe you do.Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened.
Dr. Seuss
I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it's not about what it is, it's about what it can become. That's not a seed, any more than you're just a boy.
Dr. Seuss
