Dr. Seuss has always been one of my favorite authors. Most of his works are meant as children's literature, but his messages can appeal to all. I have three different Dr. Seuss quotes hanging up in my bedroom because they just make me happy. It's always nice to start off the day with a positive quote. I've compiled some of my favorite Dr. Seuss quotes for anyone who needs a little motivation for their days.
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”
You are fully capable of taking yourself wherever you want to go in your life. You are smart and can do anything that you put your mind to.
“Today is gone. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.”
Enjoy today and live in the moment. If you didn't have such a great day, then tomorrow promises a new day. Look forward to the future and embrace it.
“Kid, you’ll move mountains!”
There's no need to be afraid of the tasks in front of you, you are capable of much more than you think.
“And will you succeed? Yes you will indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed).”
There are no 100%'s in life and that's sometimes scary. But with hard work, it's more than likely that things will go in a positive direction.
“Why fit in when you were born to stand out?”
We are all unique. It's easy to fit in and conform to societal norms, but it is totally worth it to be yourself and be true to your ideals and beliefs.
“Think and wonder, wonder and think.”
Never lose your childlike wonder. Never stop growing, learning, and challenging yourself.
“You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.”
You have one life to live so make it spectacular. Participate in the world and be involved. Make connections and make your life one worth living.
“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.”
You have to enjoy every moment of your life. These could be "the glory days" that you tell your grandkids about, make all of your moments memorable ones.
“So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!”
Never let anyone tell you that your opinion doesn't matter. What you have to say is just as valid as what the next person says.
“You’re in pretty good shape for the shape you are in.”
You may not be happy about what "shape" you are in right now: physical, emotional, financial, etc. But remember that you are exactly where you are supposed to be and this doesn't have to be permanent.
“Today I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered.”
Go into each day with positivity and the desire to make a change in the world, no matter how small of a change it is.
“A person’s a person, no matter how small.”
Everyone deserves the same amount of respect regardless of title, status, age, gender, or whatever, so don't treat them poorly because of who they are.
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
Things in the world get done by people who put in the work, by people who care, and by people who want to see a change. So if you want to see a change in the world, help be that change.
“Everything stinks till it’s finished.”
Right now may be a little rough, but once you get past it, you'll realize how much stronger you have become since you overcame that hardship.
