Dr. Seuss (1904-1991)

When most people think of Dr. Seuss they automatically think of his funny stories like Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in The Hat, and others, but when you look really closely you can see in many of his stories that he was truly trying to make the world a better place, trying to teach kids to think on their own and see all of the fun in life. Here are some quotes of his that I really enjoy, as well as some videos at the bottom of the page if you want to check them out, enjoy!

Dr. Seuss Quotes
