On Tuesday, March 2 Dr. Seuss would have been 112 years old! Normally, I don’t give more than a passing nod to the day, but this year as I sat and watched the sound bites on the news from the potential nominees for this year’s presidential election, I decided I’d rather write in Dr. Seuss for president. I learned so many important life lessons and found inspiration in his fun rhymes and silly illustrations. We’re never too old to enjoy a few Dr. Seuss quotes:
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”
– Oh, the Places You’ll Go! (1990)
“If you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you will learn! The most wonderful stuff!”
– I Can Read With My Eyes Shut! (1978)
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
– The Lorax (1971)
“From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.”
– One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (1990)
“Look at me! Look at me now! It is fun to have fun, but you have to know how.”
– The Cat in the Hat (1957)
“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”
– Oh, the Thinks You Can Think! (1975)
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
– I Can Read With My Eyes Shut! (1978)
“And when things start to happen, don’t worry. Don’t stew. Just go right along. You’ll start happening too!”
– Oh, the Places You’ll Go! (1990)
“I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-am.”
– Green Eggs and Ham (1960)
“You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so…get on your way!”
– Oh, the Places You’ll Go (1990)
