About Dr. Seuss

1904 – 1991

American children's author and illustrator, creator of 'The Cat in the Hat' and '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.”

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.”

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

“Thou canst not joke an Enemy into a Friend; but thou may'st a Friend into an Enemy.”

“While both are dear, piety requires us to honor truth above our friends.”

“But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!”

“If you would keep your Secret from an enemy, tell it not to a friend.”

“Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.”

“I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.”
