:QUOTES: by Dr. Seuss...

In honor of the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel (March 2, 1904), I thought I'd share a few of my favorite quotes by the infamous Dr. Seuss.

"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple."

“Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So... get on your way.”

"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you."

I have actually shared other Dr. Seuss favorites here before. What is your favorite Dr. Seuss quote? Have you ever used a Dr. Seuss quote on a layout?

:QUOTES: Creativity according to Fromm, Shaw, & Seuss

ERICH FROMM:

"Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties."

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW:

"Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine and, at last, you create what you will."

DR. SEUSS:

"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!"

:QUOTES: On Christmas...

NORMAN VINCENT PEALE:

"Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful."

LAURA INGALLS WILDER:

"Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time."

DR. SEUSS:

"And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. 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."

:CHRISTMAS BOOK COUNTDOWN: How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Day 21:
How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss

The Grinch, whose heart is two sizes too small, hates Who-ville's holiday celebrations, and plans to steal all the presents to prevent Christmas from coming.

To his amazement, Christmas comes anyway, and the Grinch discovers the true meaning of the holiday.

Quotes to Ponder

Dr. Seuss:

"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."

Walt Disney:

"When you are curious you find lots of interesting things to do."

Confucius:

"Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart."

and a couple just for fun...

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child. ~Erma Bombeck, I Lost Everything in the Post-Natal Depression

Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space.
~Dave Barry
