Dr. Seuss

You'll be on your way up! You'll be seeing great sights! You'll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

How true, how true" said the Sour Kangaroo, "And from now on, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm going to protect them with you!" And the Young Kangaroo in her pouch said "Me too!

If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good.

When you think things are bad, when you feel sour and blue, when you start to get mad... you should do what I do! Just tell yourself, Duckie, you're really quite lucky! Some people are much more... oh, ever so much more... oh, muchly much-much more unlucky 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!

Remember me and smile, for it's better to forget than to remember me and cry.

Today you are you! That is truer than true!

All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you'll be quite a lot!

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.

You can get so confused that you'll start in to race down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a most useless place. The Waiting Place.

For a host, above all, must be kind to his guests.

It's opener, out there, in the wide, open air.

Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered.

You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.

My uncle ordered popovers from the restaurant's bill of fare. And, when they were served, he regarded them with a penetrating stare. Then he spoke great words of wisdom as he sat there on that chair: "To eat these things," said my uncle, "You must exercise great care. You may swallow down what's solid, but you must spit out the air!" And as you partake of the world's bill of fare, that's darned good advice to follow. Do a lot of spitting out the hot air. And be careful what you swallow.

Don't grumble! Don't stew! Some critters are much-much, Oh, ever so much-much So muchly much-much more unlucky than you!

People are weird. When we find someone with weirdness that is compatible with ours, we team up and call it love.

unless someone like you comes around, things will never change.

I'm sorry to say so but, sadly, it's true that Bang-ups and Hang-ups can happen to you.

I know it may seem small and insignificant, but it's not about what it is, it's about what it can become. That's not a seed, any more than you're just a boy.
