Words of wisdom from Dr. Seuss


I am re-reading words from "Oh! The Places You'll Go" again. Here are the words/phrases/sentences that jump out to me:

  • You'll look up and down streets. Look'em over with care. About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there." With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too smart to go down a not-so-good street.
  • You can get all hung up in a prickle-ly-perch. And your gang will fly on. You'll be left in a Lurch.
  • You'll come down from the Lurch with an unpleasant bump. And the chances are, then, that you'll be in a Slump.
  • And when you're in a Slump, you're not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.
  • The Waiting Place ... for people just waiting.
  • Life's a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.
  • Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So .... get on your way!
