More quotes by Shel Silverstein
Never explain what you do. It speaks for itself. You only muddle it by talking about it.
Shel Silverstein
ALICE She drank from a bottle called DRINK ME And she grew so tall, She ate from a plate called TASTE ME And down she shrank so small. And so she changed, while other folks Never tried nothin' at all.
Shel Silverstein
Whatever you are is all okay. I don't like you anyway.
Shel Silverstein
G'bye, I'm going out to play!
Shel Silverstein
She had blue skin, And so did he. He kept it hid And so did she. They searched for blue Their whole life through, Then passed right by- And never knew.
Shel Silverstein
What did the carrot say to the wheat? Lettuce rest, I'm feeling beet.
Shel Silverstein
If you're a bird, be an early bird. But if you're a worm, sleep late.

I've found my missin' piece So grease my knees and fleece my bees I've found my missin' piece!
Shel Silverstein
I was hoping that perhaps I could roll with you... You cannot roll with me, said the Big O, but perhaps you can roll by yourself.
Shel Silverstein
We're all worth the same When we turn off the light.
Shel Silverstein
I believe that if you don't want to do anything, then sit there and don't do it, but don't expect people to hand you a corn beef sandwich and wash your socks for you and unzip your fly for you.
Shel Silverstein
If the track is tough and the hill is rough, THINKING you can just ain't enough!
Shel Silverstein
I will not play tug o' war. I'd rather play hug o' war. Where everyone hugs instead of tugs, Where everyone giggles and rolls on the rug, Where everyone kisses, and everyone grins, and everyone cuddles, and everyone wins.
Shel Silverstein
How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.
Shel Silverstein
The Yesees said yes to anything That anyone suggested. The Noees said no to everything Unless it was proven and tested. So the Yesees all died of much too much And the Noees all died of fright, But somehow I think the Thinkforyourselfees All came out all right.
Shel Silverstein
Underneath my outside face There's a face that none can see. A little less smiley, A little less sure, But a whole lot more like me.
Shel Silverstein
There is a place where the sidewalk ends, And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind.
Shel Silverstein
Beware of being the roller / When there's nothing left to roll
Shel Silverstein
I am writing these poems from inside a lion.
Shel Silverstein
Don't be dependent on anyone else. I want to go everywhere, look at, and listen to everything. You can go crazy with some of the wonderful stuff there is in life.
Shel Silverstein
