Dr. Seuss.
His name is iconic.
Generations young and old continue to read his books, and so many of his words have left a lasting impression and linger on our minds long after we have closed the pages.
Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known by his pen name Dr. Seuss, was a writer and cartoonist. He published his first book, And to Think I saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1937. What followed was a long list of bestsellers including, The Cat and the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham.
For most, you can’t help but find yourself smiling while reading a Dr. Seuss book. His rhymes and characters evoke happiness. There are many quotes from the famous author, which inspire joy. Here are just a few of my favourite Dr. Seuss quotes.
