Green Eggs & Ham

I rediscovered my love for Dr Seuss after recent visit home. My sister read and reread Green Eggs and Ham to my little nephew and each time he could not contain his delight. The magic of Dr Seuss is that not only does he ignite childrens' love for reading but he also
has a very valuable life lessons to share that only make make sense MUCH later. That is pure genius in my opinion.


Here are a couple of my favourite quotes:

• You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose. You on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who will decide where to go. - Dr Seuss, Oh the Places You Will Go.

• We are all alittle weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutual weirdness and call it love. - Dr Seuss.

• Don't cry because its over. Smile because it happened. - Dr Seuss

• So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact. And remember that life's a great balancing act. And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! (98 and 3/4 % guaranteed). - Dr Seuss.

• Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple. - Dr Seuss.

• You know you in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. - Dr Seuss

• I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, its a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. -Dr Seuss

• Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. -Dr Seuss, The Lorax.

• A person is a person no matter how small. - Dr Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!

• From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere! - Dr Seuss, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.

• 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! -Dr Seuss

• Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. -Dr Seuss.

• In my world, everyone's a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies. - Dr Seuss

• Why fit in when you were born to stand out. - Dr Seuss.

My friend also mentions Dr Seuss in her super blog: http://wwwlienkiesblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/random-things.html

That's all.
