Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!


Today, March 2, would have marked Dr. Seuss's 108th birthday! Born Theodor Seuss Geisel, Dr. Seuss became the best-selling children's author of all time. His books have transcended time and continue to appeal to readers of all ages. Why not share some of these memorable quotes from his books with your residents today in honor of his birthday? You might also encourage them to tell you their favorite Dr. Seuss book. Since he first started publishing in 1937, odds are good that everyone has read at least one!

Popular Dr. Seuss quotes:
  • “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.” (From Oh, the Places You'll Go!)
  • “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” (From Happy Birthday to You!)

  • “I know, up on top you are seeing great sights, but down here at the bottom we, too, should have rights.” (From Yertle the Turtle and Gertrude McFuzz
  • “I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny.” (From The Cat in the Hat)
