I’m afraid sometimes you’ll play lonely games too,games you can’t winbecause you’ll play against you

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.
And will you succeed?Yes! You will indeed!(98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed)
It’s a troublesome world. All the people who’re in it are troubled with troubles almost every minute. You ought to be thankful, a whole heaping lot,for the places and people you’re lucky you’re not.
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.
If I were invited to a dinner party with my characters, I wouldn’t show up.

My alphabet starts with this letter called yuzz. It’s the letter I use to spell yuzz-a-ma-tuzz. You’ll be sort of surprised what there is to be found once you go beyond ‘Z’ and start poking around!
I’m sorry to sayso but, sadly it’s truethat bang-ups and hang-upscan happen to you
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.
You make ‘em, I amuse ‘em.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
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.
If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good
You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
In my world, everyone’s a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!
How did it get so late so soon?
Sam Ran Over Sand or Sand Ran Over Sam,
When at last we are sure, You’ve been properly pilled, Then a few paper forms, Must be properly filled. So that you and your heirs, May be properly billed.
I’m glad we had the times together just to laugh and sing a song, seems like we just got started and then before you know it, the times we had together were gone.
A person’s a person, no matter how small.
All alone!Whether you like it or not,alone is something you’ll be quite a lot
I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
Being crazy isn’t enough.
I know, up on top you are seeing great sights, but down here at the bottom we, too, should have rights.
Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So… get on your way.
Adults are obsolete children.
Just tell yourself, Duckie, you’re really quite lucky!

I’m afraid sometimes you’ll play lonely games too, games you can’t win because you’ll play against you
Things may happen and often do to people as brainy and footsy as you.
Remember me and smile, for it’s better to forget than to remember me and cry.
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you’ll be quite a lot
You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.
You’ll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You’ll get mixed up with many strange birds as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.
Poor empty pants with nobody inside them.
Shorth is better than length.
From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.
ASAP. Whatever that means. It must mean, ‘Act swiftly awesome pacyderm!
So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.
Be awesome! Be a book nut!
It has often been said there’s so much to be read, you never can cram all those words in your head. So the writer who breeds more words than he needs is making a chore for the reader who reads. That’s why my belief is the briefer the brief is, the greater the sigh of the reader’s relief is. And that’s why your books have such power and strength. You publish with shorth!
I am a zizzer zazzer zuzz as you can plainly see.
Fun is good.
If you’d never been born, then you might be an Isn’t!
An Isn’t has no fun at all. No, he disn’t.
i can read in red. I can read in blue. I can read in pickle color too.
And the turtles, of course… All the turtles are free- As turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.
Chances are that the number of teachers that will be impacted by this will be very few.
Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So… get on your way!
Think and wonder, wonder and think.
Oh the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. And the magical things you can do with that ball will make you the winning-est winner of all.
You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights! You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.
Writing simply means no dependent clauses, no dangling things, no flashbacks, and keeping the subject near the predicate. We throw in as many fresh words we can get away with. Simple, short sentences don’t always work. You have to do tricks with pacing, alternate long sentences with short, to keep it vital and alive…. Virtually every page is a cliffhanger–you’ve got to force them to turn it.
I’m sorry to say so but, sadly it’s true that bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you
You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
So you see! There’s no end to the things you might know,Depending how far beyond Zebra you go.

And the Young Kangaroo in her pouch said Me too!

Thank goodness for all of the things you are not!Thank goodness you’re not something someone forgot,and left all alone in some punkerish placelike a rusty tin coat hanger hanging in space.Thats why I say Duckie!don’t grumble! don’t stew!some critters are much-much,oh, ever so much-much,so muchly much-much more unlucky than you!

Catch! calls the Once-ler. He lets something fall. It’s a Truffula Seed. It’s the last one of all! You’re in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds. And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs. Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care. Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air. Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack. Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come back.
For a host, above all, must be kind to his guests.
If you want to catch beasts you don’t see every day,
You have to go places quite out of the way,
You have to go places no others can get to.
You have to get cold and you have too get wet, too.

When the drops stop dropping then the storm starts stopping.
This mess is too big and too deep and to tall. We can’t clean it up! We can’t clean it up at all!
Oh, the things you can find if you don’t stay behind!
Be grateful you’re not in the forest in France
Where the average young person just hasn’t a chance
To escape from the perilous pants eating plants
But your pants are safe, you’re a fortunate guy
You ought to be shouting how lucky am I

We throw in as many fresh words as we can get away with. Simple, short sentences don’t always work. You have to do tricks with pacing, alternate long sentences with short, to keep it alive and vital. Virtually every page is a cliff-hanger–you’ve got to force them to turn it.
But now, says the Once-ler, now that you’re here, the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear. UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
It is fun to have fun but you have to know how.
Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.
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 (or gal) who’ll decide where to go.
What it really said to me is how hard the people at our school work, … All of our employees who work here are working hard to do what’s right for our kids.

Vlad? I know two Vlads. One is a cute little bunny that brings me cookies. The other is bad Vlad. Which Vlad?’ Which one do you think?’ Bad Vlad?’Good call.
My uncle ordered popovers
from the restaurant’s bill of fare.
And, when they were served,
he regarded them with a penetrating stare.
Then he spoke great words of wisdom
as he sat there on that chair:
To eat these things, said my uncle,
You must exercise great care.
You may swallow down what’s solid,
but you must spit out the air!
And as you partake of the world’s bill of fare,
that’s darned good advice to follow.
Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.
And be careful what you swallow.
I like green eggs and ham! I like them Sam I Am!
Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak. Oh! The places you’ll go!
And what would you do if you met a jibboo?
Not here not there not anywhere!
