A Few of Dr. Seuss’s Many Great Quates“Today you are You, that is truer than true.
There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” “Sometimes the questions are complicated
and the answers are simple.” “Think left and think right and think low and
think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”
And one of my favorite of all time…
“A person's a person, no matter how small.”
