More quotes by 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
I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.
Dr. Seuss
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
Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand.
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
It is fun to have fun.
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
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
Even though we may all become extinct, we can still leave our footprint in the sand.
Dr. Seuss
Writing for children is murder. A chapter has to be boiled down to a paragraph. Every word has to count.
Dr. Seuss
So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.
Dr. Seuss
Step with care and great tact. And remember life's a great balancing act.
Dr. Seuss
When beetles fight these battles in a bottle with their paddles and the bottle's on a poodle and the poodle's eating noodles... ...they call this a muddle puddle tweetle poodle beetle noodle bottle paddle battle.
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
The news just came in from the County of Keck That a very small bug by the name of Van Vleck Is yawning so wide you can look down his neck. This may not seem very important, I know, but it Is, so I'm bothering telling you so.
Dr. Seuss
Reading can take you places you have never been before.
Dr. Seuss
How did it get so late so soon?
Dr. Seuss
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find, for a mind maker-upper to make up his mind
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
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own, and you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go.
Dr. Seuss
