Dr. Seuss Day

March 2, 1904, Theodor Seuss Geisel was born into the world.  We know him today as Dr. Seuss.  What a character!  I think that he was a really neat person who we all learned to read from, taught our children from and has been a part of all of our lives for a long time.  Who doesn't love a good Dr. Seuss? 

In the past, the kids and I would do all sorts of silly things for his birthday - dress silly, read his books, eat green eggs, make Cat in the Hat hats, etc.  Today, I took a midterm exam and we didn't do any of that!  But, I did have some fun with the kids looking up quotes of his and we enjoyed that.  You can learn a lot of life lessons from Dr. Seuss!  So, I decided to post some of my favorite quotes here so that I can come and look at them anytime I like.  Thanks for humoring me and coming on the journey!  Hope that you enjoy them as much as we did.

"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." 

"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..."
 
"A person's a person, no matter how small."

"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple."

"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!"

"If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too."

"You're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So... get on your way!"

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."

"They say I'm old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast! "

"And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed."

Thanks for reading along!  I find these inspiring in quirky little ways, don't you?
