They say I'm old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!
How did it get so late so soon?
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...
If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.
If things start happening, don't worry, don't stew, just go right along and you'll start happening too.
Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.
Don\x92t give up! I believe in you all A person\x92s 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!
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Remember me and smile, for it's better to forget than to remember me and cry.
I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful one-hundred percent!
Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And it helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day and age. Humor has a tremendous place in this sordid world. It's more than just a matter of laughing. If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack.
You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
Being crazy isn't enough.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.
All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something you'll be quite a lot!
Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.
You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
Only you can control your future.
Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.
A person's a person, no matter how small.
I'm afraid that sometimes you'll play lonely games too. Games you can't win 'cause you'll play against you.
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!
I'm telling you this 'cause you're one of my friends. My alphabet starts where your alphabet ends! \x85 So, on beyond Z! It's high time you were shown That you really don't know All there is to be known.
Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
Be awesome! Be a book nut!
Adults are just obsolete children and the hell with them.
You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
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!
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.
"From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere."
From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.
From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!
"From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere." -- Dr. Seuss</p>
If Dr. Seuss Were a Technical Writer..... Here's an easy game to play. Here's an easy thing to say: If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort, And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report! If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, And the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless, and your system's gonna crash! You can't say this? What a shame, sir! We'll find you another game, sir. If the label on the cable on the table at your house, Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, But your packets want to tunnel on another protocol, That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall, And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse, Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang! When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk, And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary risc, Then you have to flash your memory and you'll want to ram your rom. Quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your mom! -- DementDJ@ccip.perkin-elmer.com (DementDJ) [rec.humor.funny]
"Humpf!" Humpfed a voice! "For almost two days you've run wild and insisted on chatting with persons who've never existed. Such carryings-on in our peaceable jungle! We've had quite enough of you bellowing bungle! And I'm here to state," snapped the big kangaroo, "That your silly nonsensical game is all through!" And the young kangaroo in her pouch said, "Me, too!" "With the help of the Wickersham Brothers and dozens of Wickersham Uncles and Wickersham Cousins and Wickersham In-Laws, whose help I've engaged, You're going to be roped! And you're going to be caged! And, as for your dust speck... Hah! That we shall boil in a hot steaming kettle of Beezle-Nut oil!" -- Dr. Seuss "Horton Hears a Who"
And he climbed with the lad up the Eiffelberg Tower. "This," cried the Mayor, "is your town's darkest hour! The time for all Whos who have blood that is red to come to the aid of their country!" he said. "We've GOT to make noises in greater amounts! So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!" Thus he spoke as he climbed. When they got to the top, the lad cleared his throat and he shouted out, "YOPP!" And that Yopp... That one last small, extra Yopp put it over! Finally, at last! From the speck on that clover their voices were heard! They rang out clear and clean. And they elephant smiled. "Do you see what I mean?" They've proved they ARE persons, no matter how small. And their whole world was saved by the smallest of All!" "How true! Yes, how true," said the big kangaroo. "And, from now on, you know what I'm planning to do? From now on, I'm going to protect them with you!" And the young kangaroo in her pouch said, "ME TOO! From the sun in the summer. From rain when it's fall-ish, I'm going to protect them. No matter how small-ish!" -- Dr. Seuss "Horton Hears a Who"
