Inspirational Dr Seuss Quotes

During your childhood, you may have come across one of over 60 books, penned under the name of Dr Seuss. Dr Seuss has then been often quoted and used to express what is going on in their own lives. I managed to gather 31 Dr Seuss Quotes Which Will Inspire You.

Many may ask, Just Who was Dr Seuss? Theodor Seuss Geisel was political satire cartoonist born in March 1904 in the USA. He later died in September 1991 after a long career as an author of children’s books.

I am sure like me, you have read at least one of Dr Seuss books. The next books to be published were: The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. The first ever Dr Seuss book I ever read was: Green Eggs and Ham and it has been my favourite ever since.

How important is this first quote and it really makes you think which way you are heading. “Only you can control your Future.” – Dr Seuss

I guess some nonsense is needed in parts of your life and living each day. “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.” – Dr Seuss

True today as it has always been. “Congratulations! Today is your day.”

Keep your eyes open, well if you are able to. “You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.”

If you are having fun, why not show others why you have having such fun. “Look at me! Look at me now! It’s fun to have fun, but you have to know how.”

We all have choices to take. When a crossroad in our lives, you can choose which path to take. It is up to you choose which path to take. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.”

We mean something to someone, it is up to us who we are to those around us. “The the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world.”

Love yourself for who you are. Not for you are not but what you can become. “You’re in Pretty Good shape for the shape you are in.”

This tickled me but I realised what it meant. “I know it is wet and sun is not sunny, we have lots pf good fun what is funny.”

When you are at work one day and you find yourself trying to answer a difficult question, think about this one. “Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”

Dr Seuss Quotes About Reading and Books

I didn’t finish reading my first book until I was in my late teens, for many years after I learned to love reading. Here are a selection of Dr Seuss quotes about Reading.

Reading to a good book will show your family you wish to be educated with good things, good books and happy places you wish to visit.

When I read this quote, it made me smile and giggle. It looks like I will be reading more books to my daughter after this. “You’re never too old too wacky too wild to pick up and read to a child.”

I do have a few books, but think this quote gives me permission to get more books, only question will then be, finding time to read them all. “Fill Your House With Stack of Books, in all the Crannies and all the nooks.”

Filling your house with books never got so easier until now. “Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks.”

We all need to read more, this seems to be an invitation to read more. Escapism can also be a great place with a good book.

Enough said: “Be Awesome! Be a book nut!”

There is no need to cry. Smiling is a great source of happiness. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

Dr Seuss Love Quotes 

There are some great Dr Seuss quotes about love. These Dr Seuss love quotes from his point of view, through the characters of his books.

“Cause when a guy does something stupid once, well that’s because he’s a guy. But if he does the same stupid thing twice, that’s usually to impress some girl”. I had to laugh at this and had to agree.

“If things start happening, don’t worry, don’t stew, just go right along and you’ll start happening too.” Love happens when you least expect it, but don’t go looking for it. Just let it happen naturally.

Doing things or activities with those you love are just as important as the memories. “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”

..This quote speaks for itself. “You know when you’re in love when you can’t sleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

Having fun and exploring, you can fall in love in the most interesting of places. “The world is an interesting place. Have fun and exploring it. You may even meet someone new!”

Treasure each minute, each hour, each day, month and years you spend with the ones you love. Because before you know, those moments are gone. “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.”

Quirky and short and I love it. “Just tell yourself, duckie, You’re really quite lucky!”

We are all prone to weirdness, but some weirdness is good. Here some Dr Seuss Weird Quotes you will enjoy!

Letting your imagination go where it takes you. “Think and wonder, wonder and think.”

Every step we take, everything we do can always be counted a balancing act. “Step with care and great tact and remember that life’s a great balancing act.”

I took this quote to mean, that no matter who we are, what ever the station or prestige, we all have rights. “I know, up on top you are seeing great sights, but down here at the bottom, we, too, should have rights.”

I have enjoyed making these quotes. If you gain something from these quotes as I did. Dr Seuss and his books have brought joy to all ages, to children and adults a-like.
