Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss...A Few of My Favorite Quotes

By Merri Cohen February 26, 2016
This week we celebrate "Read Across America" and Dr. Seuss's birthday, both which are near and dear to my heart. I have been an avid reader since I was a little girl, and I have always loved how books can take you to faraway places all over the world. And Dr. Seuss books are just my all-time favorite: my dad read them to me, I read them to my kids, and I was lucky enough to see his favorite characters like Horton, Gertrude McFuzz, and Cat in the Hat come to life when I performed in one of my favorite musicals, Seussical. I played a yellow Who, complete with 3 ponytails and huge yellow flowers in my hair.

I will leave you with a few of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes:


“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!

“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!

“A person's a person, no matter how small.”
 Horton Hears a Who!

“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!

“I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful one-hundred percent!”
 Horton Hatches the Egg

“You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.”
 I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”

“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”

“Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”

“To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world.”

“How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”

“I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.”




Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
