10 Dr. Seuss Inspirational Quotes
Theodor Seuss “Ted” Geisel , aka Dr. Seuss, has written more than 60 books for children. Sometimes as you read through his book, you get caught up in the rhyming and the playful text. In reality, some of his children’s book are extremely profound and provide inspirational messages. Here are my most favorite 10 Dr. Seuss inspirational quotes.
I chose these quotes because not only are the inspirational but they are motivational. They can help children (and adults) develop a growth mindset to believe in themselves and their abilities.
The quotes are so meaningful to me that I created 10 word search puzzles and posters for students to challenge themselves to find all the words in the quotes. Check out the Dr. Seuss Word Search Puzzle and Poster Packet here.

Dr. Seuss Inspirational Quotes #7 – You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.
