Dr. Seuss published 46 children&#8217;s books and for many mothers, including myself, hours were spent reading these books to our children and conveying many life lessons along the way.\u00a0<\/span>This article pulls\u00a0together twenty of\u00a0his most inspiring quotes. Regardless of your role in life- a parent, teacher, business or religious leader, our beloved Dr. Seuss\u00a0has a message about character, competency and consistency, the key ingredients for building trust.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a Mom, buy yourself a Dr. Seuss book for Mother&#8217;s Day and share it with your kids. It may just be a gift of a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\u201cToday I shall behave, as if this is the day I will be remembered.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cIt is better to know how to learn than to know.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWith your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you&#8217;re too smart to go down any not-so-good street.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cYou will come to a place where the streets are not marked.\u00a0Some windows are lighted. but mostly they&#8217;re darked.\u00a0A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin!\u00a0Do you dare to stay out?
