All the things I know I learned from Dr. Suess

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..."
~Oh the Places You'll Go


“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
~Dr. Suess


“A person's a person, no matter how small.”
~Horton hears a Who


“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It's not.”
~The Lorax


“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”
~I had trouble in getting to Solla Sollew


“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”
~Dr. Suess


“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good.”
~
Dr. Suess


“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)

“You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.”
~I can read with my eyes shut


"If we didn't have birthdays, you wouldn't be you.
If you'd never been born, well then what would you do?
If you'd never been born, well then what would you be?
You might be a fish! Or a toad in a tree!
You might be a doorknob! Or three baked potatoes!
You might be a bag full of hard green tomatoes.
Or worse than all that . . . Why, you might be a WASN'T!
A Wasn't has no fun at all. No, he doesn't.
A Wasn't just isn't. He just isn't present.
But you . . . You are YOU! And now, isn't that pleasant!"
~Happy birthday to you!


“Today is your day, your mountain is waiting. So get on your way.”
