Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak. Oh! The places you'll go!
You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.
We've taught you that the earth is round, That red and white make pink, And something else that matters more - We've taught you how to think.
The moon was out and I saw some sheep. I saw some sheep take a walk in their sleep. By the light of the moon, by the light of a star, They walked all night from near to far. I would never walk, I would take a car.
My trouble was I had a mind but I couldn't make it up!
And the turtles, of course...all the turtles are free, as turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.
Don't give up! I believe in you all. A person's a person, no matter how small! And you very small persons will not have to die If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!
Sometimes a complicated question has a simple answer.
All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you'll be quite a lot!
And this mess is so big And so deep and so tall, We cannot pick it up. There is no way at all!
I still climb Mount Everest just as often as I used to. I play polo just as often as I used to. But to walk down to the hardware store I find a little bit more difficult
Everything stinks till it’s finished.
I meant no harm I most truly did not, but I had to grow bigger so bigger I got. I biggered my factory, I biggered my roads, I biggered the wagons, I biggered the loads, of the Thneeds I shipped out I was shipping them forth from the South, to the East, to the West. To the North, I went right on biggering selling more thneeds. And I biggered my money which everyone needs.
I meant what I said and I said what I meant.
