Dr. Seuss: Truisms for All Ages

A recent article in PR Daily offers up Dr. Seuss truisms as social media fodder. Although the article is clever, Dr. Seuss was much more than that.

Here is a list of 15 thought-provoking sayings from Seuss that were shared in the article. (If you want to read the whole thing, go here.)

1. “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.”

2. “Be who you are and say what you feel because those that matter don’t mind, and those that mind don’t matter!”

3. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

4. “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

5. “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.”

6. “Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”

7. “A person’s a person, no matter how small.”

8. “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

9. “We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”

10. “Being crazy isn’t enough.”

11. “From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!”

12. “I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant’s faithful 100 percent!”

13. “Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”

14. “In my world, everyone’s a pony and they all eat rainbows and poop butterflies!”

15. “How did it get so late so soon?”

About

The Tucson Progressive: Pamela J. Powers

I stand on the side of Love. I believe in kindness to all creatures on Earth and the inherent self-worth of all individuals–not just people who agree with me or look like me.

Widespread economic and social injustice prompted me to become a candidate for the Arizona House, representing Legislative District 9 in the 2016 election.

My platform focused on economic reforms to grow Arizona’s economy, establish a state-based public bank, fix our infrastructure, fully fund public education, grow local small businesses and community banks, and put people back to work at good-paying jobs.

In the Arizona House, I was a strong voice for fiscal responsibility a moratorium on corporate tax breaks until the schools were fully funded, increased cash assistance to the poor, expansion of maternal healthcare benefits, equal rights, choice, unions, education at all levels and protecting our water supply.

After three terms, I retired from the Arizona Legislature in January 2023 but will continue to blog and produce my podcast “A View from the Left Side.”
