Birthday poems, funny birthday wishes and unique birthday quotes for kids. Dr Seuss. You are you. Now isn't that pleasant? - Dr Seuss Quotes. Very good.
Take a look at the famous Dr Seuss Quotes and start to know how this American cartoonist/writer became so famous for his notable literature and writing pieces. Theodor Seuss Geisel, popularly known as simply Dr. Seuss, was famous for his wonderful children’s books. Some of the best books he has written include “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, “One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish”, “The Cat in the Hat” and “Green Eggs and Ham”.
Although I wasn’t able to read some of his books when I was a kid, I got curious when I saw some of Dr. Seuss quotes. He seems comic, but with sense. I also like his way of writing stories. Most of his texts are rhyming and I really like it. So, I’ve decided to include quotes of Dr Seuss in my collection of quotes. I’ve categorized quotes from Dr Seuss into different topic. But since some of them can be suitable for other topic, it will be up to you how to use and fit them.
I hope you enjoy this collection of Dr Seuss quotes as much as I do… And hey, don’t forget to browse my other list of quotes from famous personalities. Our QUOTES section has some quotes from Aristotle, William Shakepeare, Albert Einstein and many more.
Don’t cry because it’s over.
Smile because it happened.
Be who you are and say what you feel
Because those who mind don’t matter
And those who matter don’t mind.
Think and wonder.
Wonder and Think
Today you are You,
That is truer than true.
There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
Sometimes the questions are complicated
And the answers are simple.
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So. . . get on your way.
I’m afraid sometimes
you’ll play lonely games too,
games you can’t win
because you’ll play against you
Being crazy isn’t enough.
― Dr. Seuss
A person’s a person, no matter how small.
― Dr. Seuss
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.
― Dr. Seuss
I meant what I said, and I said what I meant.
An elephant’s faithful, one hundred percent.
― Horton Hatches the Egg
From there to here, from here to there,
Funny things are everywhere.
— Dr. Seuss
My trouble was I had a mind but I couldn’t make it up!
How did it get so late so soon?
It’s night before its afternoon.
December is here before its June.
My goodness how the time has flown.
How did it get so late so soon?
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.
Today was good.
Today was fun.
Tomorrow is another one.
Be who you are and say what you feel
Because those who mind don’t matter
And those who matter don’t mind.
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living,
It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.
Which is what I do.
And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can streer 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 …
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.
Today you are You, that is truer than true.
There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
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!
In my world, everyone’s a pony and
They all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!
Dr. Seuss
I’m sorry to say
So but, sadly it’s true
That bang-ups and hang-ups
Can happen to you
You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.
– Dr. Seuss
The storm starts when the drops start dropping.
When the drops stop dropping, the storm starts stopping.
— Dr. Seuss
Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
― Dr. Seuss
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living,
It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.
― Dr. Seuss
The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
Think left and think right and think low and think high.
Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
And will you succeed?
Yes indeed, yes indeed!
Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed!
You can get help from teachers,
But you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself,
Sitting alone in a room.
Dr. Seuss
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living,
It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.
Which is what I do,
And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.
If you never did, you should.
These things are fun and fun is good.
Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.
It’s a troublesome world. All the people who’re in it
are troubled with troubles almost every minute.
You ought to be thankful, a whole heaping lot,
for the places and people you’re lucky you’re not.
So the writer who breeds more words than he needs,
Is making a chore for the reader who reads
Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand.
Dr Seuss
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow,
Stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so?
It came without ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes or bags.
And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before.
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store?
What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more?
– How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Maybe the Christmas he thought doesn’t come from a store
Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more.
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.
You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
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.
You’re off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So… get on your way!
Will you succeed?
Yes you will indeed!
The more that you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
I am the Lorax, and I’ll yell and I’ll shout
For the fine things on earth that are on their way out!
I speak for the trees,
For the trees have no tongues.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
They say I’m old-fashioned, and live in the past,
But sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!

- Oh! The Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss
If we didn’t have birthdays, you wouldn’t be you.
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!

So I think I'll be six, forever and ever.

Dr. Seuss: Birthday wishes for a genius. Dr. Seuss has a birthday this week. Theodor Seuss Geisel, the wildly creative creator of Horton, Sam.
Most widely known for his children’s books, Theodor Seuss Geisel was an American writer and cartoonist of the 20th century, who left a big legacy of books and various texts. And maybe the his quote that sums up best his pholosophy is this:
Children’s reading and children’s thinking are the rock-bottom base upon which this country will rise. Or not rise. In these days of tension and confusion, writers are beginning to realize that books for children have a greater potential for good or evil than any other form of literature on earth.
― Dr. Seuss
No wonder why there is such a wide collection of inspiring quotes by Dr. Seuss. Often written in anapestic tetrameter, a poetic meter employed by many poets of the English literary canon, his texts seem to echo a simple popular wisdom and they have an inherent optimism while calling you to dream. What’s not to like?
Enjoy, like & share.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go. Dr. Seuss.
I meant what I said and I said what I mean.
If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good. Dr. Seuss.
Sometimes the quotestions are complicated and the answers are simple. Dr. Seuss.
Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened. Dr. Seuss
