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
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

“You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”

“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 meant what I said and I said what I meant.”

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?”

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”

“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.”

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

“My alphabet starts with this letter called yuzz. It’s the letter I use to spell yuzz-a-ma-tuzz. You’ll be sort of surprised what there is to be found once you go beyond ‘Z’ and start poking around!”

“And the turtles, of course… All the turtles are free- As turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.”

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”

I decided to make a page of my favorite Bob Marley quotes, his music has had a big influence on my life, even though he died before I was even born. If you have ever heard his music, you know how powerful his lyrics, and voice can be. He spoke many wise words in his time, most were immortalized in his music, and others in books and from person to person, I hope I can help spread some of his wise words around to other people that might not have heard them. There are also a few videos at the bottom of the page if you want to check them out, including a 90 minute documentary about him.

A bit about Bob Marley:
