Thursday 13...

I know i'm about a week late with this topic, but my Thursday thirteen for this week is...

13 of Dr. Seuss's best quotes:
Yep…that Dr. Seuss was a pretty smart fella, if you ask me. There are some pretty profound concepts in his children’s books. For example:

1.“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.” -How the Grinch Stole Christmas

2.“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” -Happy Birthday to You

3.“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

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

5.“So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.” -Seuss-isms

6.“I’m sorry to say so, but sadly it’s true, that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you.” -Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

7.“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!” -I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew

8.“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!” -Oh, the Thinks You Can Think

9.“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.” -Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

10.“Young cat, if you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you would learn! The most wonderful stuff!” -I Can Read with my Eyes Shut

11.“If things start happening, don’t worry, don’t stew, just go right along and you’ll start happening too.” -Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

12.“Don’t give up! I believe in you all. A person’s a person, no matter how small.” -Horton Hears a Who
