“Oh the things you can find
If you don't stay behind!”

“I'm telling you this 'cause you're one of my friends.
My alphabet starts where your alphabet ends!”

On Beyond Zebra! (1955)

My alphabet starts where your alphabet ends!

“If you can see things out of whack, then you can see how things can be in whack.”

As quoted in "Author Isn't Just a Cat in the Hat" by Miles Corwin in The Los Angeles Times (27 November 1983); also in Dr. Seuss: American Icon (2004) by Philip Nel, p. 38
Context: 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're a fortunate guy.
And you ought to be shouting, "How lucky am I!"”

Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? (1973)
Context: And suppose that you lived in that forest in France
Where the average young person just hasn't a chance
To escape from the perilous pants-eating plants!
But your pants are safe! You're a fortunate guy.
And you ought to be shouting, "How lucky am I!"

“It's opener, out there, in the wide, open air.”
