So today many schools around the country are celebrating the anniversary of his birthday... let's face it, he was a great man who produced MANY great books.
I LOVE Dr. Seuss! I love to read his books and every time these books have some sort of meaning/lesson hidden (its taken me to become a parent to fully understand some of them).
So today on what would have been his 108th birthday I decided to celebrate by blogging my favorite quotes from some of my favorite books...
My all-time favorite Dr. Seuss book is Oh The Places You'll Go! followed by How the Grinch Stole Christmas (one we read every year), then The Cat In The Hat then Are You My Mother? then ~ Oh who am I kidding... the list can go on and on! I LOVE THEM ALL!
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
"You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut."
"Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened!"
"I meant what I said and"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."
"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple."
"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."
"If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too."
"You are you. Now, isn't that pleasant?"
"Why fit in when you were born to stand out?"
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
"Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one."
"A person's a person, no matter how small."
"I'm glad we had the times together just to laugh and sing a song, seems like we just got started and then before you know it, the times we had together were gone."
"You'll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut."
"I meant what I said and I said what I meant." I said what I meant."
