15 Quotes by Dr Seuss that are an inspiration to all

10/09/2025 by Roy Sutton

Quotes by Doctor Seuss are some of my favourite quotes of all time.

Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known by his pen name Doctor Seuss, was an American author, political cartoonist, poet, animator, book publisher, and artist, famous for authoring more than 60 children’s books.

Through his work, he left the world with his indelible spirit imprinted on the pages of his many famous books.

His wisdom and humour remain timeless, and they are beloved by children all over the world.

Dr Seuss’s work is unlikely to be forgotten, and it’ll continue to capture readers’ imaginations for generations to come.

Here are 15 quotes by Dr Seuss that are an inspiration for everyone.

Quotes by Dr Seuss:

Only you can control your future.
Take every chance. Drop every fear.
A person’s a person, no matter how small.
Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.
If you never did you should. These things are fun, and fun is good.
It’s not about what it is; it’s about what it can become.
Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be remembered.
To the world, you may be one person, but to one person, you may be the world.
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
Sometimes you’ll never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
You’re off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way!
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in 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.
Life’s too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

25 amusing quotes about getting old to tickle you

10/08/2025 by Roy Sutton

Today I’ve curated some amusing quotes about getting old.

There are worse things than getting old. Not getting old, just being one of them. Nevertheless, being old is a tough gig. Like an old car, everything starts to wear out, and it all seems to happen at once. That’s life, unfortunately, and we have to get used to it.

The trick is to remain stupid and cheerful, and that way you’ll experience less stress. You can try smart and angry if you prefer, but I think you’ll find it doesn’t help improve anything.

One great way to remain cheerful is to read something amusing each day.

Which is why, today, I am offering you 25 amusing quotes about getting old to make you smile. Indeed, they all made me smile.

If you’re old, I’m sure some of them will resonate with you. If you’re not old, then enjoy your youth while you can. The years will pass in the blink of an eye.

Whatever your age, remember, you’ll never be as young again as you are today. And you’ll never have today again, either. So, you might as well enjoy it.

Whether you’re young or old, I’m sure you’ll be able to relate to a few of them.

I hope you enjoy them all and I hope they make you smile. Certainly, they all made me smile.

And remember this; we all get older, but getting old is a state of mind much more than anything else. You don’t have to let the old man or woman in.

Anyway, take a few moments to read them all and then pass them on.

Jokes about getting old:

The older I get, the earlier it gets late.

Women rarely admit their age; men rarely act it.

You know you’re old when people call at 9 pm and ask, “Did I wake you?”

I believe in loyalty. So, when I got to a certain age, I decided to stick with it.

My wife’s so vain, she’d rather pay full price than admit she’s a senior citizen.

I’d like to say I’m ageing like fine wine, but in my case, it’s more like a fine banana.

I like older women because they’re used to life’s disappointments, so they’re ready for me.

When you’re old, getting lucky is walking into a room and remembering exactly why you’re there.

Old age is when your old classmates are so grey, wrinkled, and bald that they no longer recognize you.

When you’re young, embarrassment is forgetting to zip up your fly. When you’re old, embarrassment is forgetting to unzip your fly.

Zombies eat brains. You’re safe.

Well, that was almost interesting.

Am I free tomorrow? No, I’m expensive.

Stupidity is not a crime. You’re free to go

I’m not insulting you. I’m describing you.

I disagree, but I respect your right to be stupid.

Well, you never learn anything by doing it right.

I’d agree with you, but then we’d both be wrong.

If only closed minds came with closed mouths.

I stopped listening, so why don’t you stop talking?

I can only hope your day is as pleasant as you are.

I’m guessing you don’t get invited to many parties.

I’m returning your nose, dear! I found it in my business.

Why you should put something away for a rainy day

10/08/2025 by Roy Sutton

Dear Reader, have you ever considered why you should put something away for a rainy day?

When you’re doing well and have a good income, it’s easy to imagine that the good times will go on forever and you can enjoy it all with the expectation that money will continue to flow in your direction without interruption.

But life’s not like that. Into every life, some rain will fall, as the saying goes.

Good times don’t last forever. Life tends to be cyclical, like the changing of the seasons.

The time to repair your roof is when the sun is shining, for winter will have its day and we must be prepared for inclement weather.

Savings matter:

When you get paid each month you must set some money aside, separated into three accounts, as follows:

You must be prepared to pay those bills that come in regularly; you must be ready for an emergency. Equally, you must start creating wealth, so that one day you’ll be able to retire.

Bill Payment:

You cannot live in the modern age without incurring bills.

Whether it’s utility bills, phone bills, TV subscriptions, mortgage payments or rent, credit card payments, food bills, repayments on a car loan, et cetera. You must set money aside to pay all those bills when they fall due.

Emergency Account:

As the saying goes, stuff happens.

And when stuff happens you must be prepared to deal with it. You must have an emergency fund you can tap into to deal with emergency repairs or even an unexpected interruption to your income. These things do happen.

Financial Freedom:

When you’re young, it’s easy to think that you’ll keep on working, if you must, to earn an income.

However, trust me, one day you will want to retire from work, or at least from the daily grind.

If you are to retire you will need some wealth.

The best time to start building wealth is when you’re young.

Start a 401K or pension whilst you’re young, pay into it regularly and with some luck and good financial management, you can enjoy a comfortable old age.

By starting young you will benefit from the magic of compounding. The impact of compound interest should not be underestimated.

Remember; it will rain:

Think of life in terms of the seasons and prepare accordingly.

Most people experience hard times at some point in their lives, particularly when they’re young.

You can be sure it will rain; the only question is when.

You will be able to weather the storm a lot better if you have a financial cushion in the form of some savings.

If you are lucky enough to have an income now, you’d do well to remember to put some of your income away for a rainy day.

It’s easy to squander your money thinking the good times will never end.

However, nothing lasts forever. So, my advice is, to be prepared.

Why you should put something away for a rainy day

21 inspirational quotes about moving on

10/07/2025 by Roy Sutton

Today let’s explore some quotes about moving on.

How often do we form an emotional attachment to the bad things that happen to us when what we should be doing is drawing a line under them and moving on?

Bad things happen to us all, and of course, they can be a bitter pill to swallow.

However, you can’t change what’s happened; only how you choose to look at what’s happened.

You can allow these things to define you, constrain you, and prevent you from enjoying the happiness you deserve.

Alternatively, you can say, “Pity me not. Stuff may happen but I’m a tough nut to crack. I will not let anything prevent me from enjoying my life as best I can. I value my self-esteem and my happiness more than I will allow unfortunate circumstances to throw me off course.”

The past serves only for the lessons it teaches us; it has no other bearing on the future. However bad the past may have been, that doesn’t mean the future can’t be better. You can’t change the past, but you can shape the future.

So never be constrained by anything that has happened to you. Just take it on the chin and move on.

Learn the lessons, of course, as they will make you wiser and stronger. Otherwise, focus on the future, don’t worry, and above all, be happy.

Nothing matters much, and few things matter at all.

Here are 21 inspirational quotes about moving on to reinforce today’s underlying message.

As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison. ~Nelson Mandela

Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future. ~Lewis B Smedes

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on them. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. ~Johnny Cash

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself. ~Walter Anderson

15 inspirational quotes about society to get you thinking

10/06/2025 by Roy Sutton

Today, dear reader, let’s explore some quotes about society. I think the importance of society is not always fully appreciated.

People are social animals, and society is the fabric that binds us all together.

We don’t have to like each other, but we do have to get along with each other if life is to be tolerable and people are to feel safe and secure.

Getting along requires us to treat each other with respect, of course. Still, society cannot function without an accepted system of governance, a broadly shared culture, and everyone feeling that they are being treated fairly.

That does not mean people within a given society must be completely homogeneous. It does not mean that there cannot be differences. There are and will always be some differences between people within society, and that’s fine.

However, no group can stand completely apart from everyone else in society if society is to function well. You’re either part of a society or you’re not.

We all have a responsibility to society:

Suppose you choose not to be part of a given society for whatever reason. In that case, that’s your decision, and it’s perfectly reasonable to have a preference for living in some other society.

After all, that’s why people emigrate. They seek to find a way of life that’s more consistent with the way they would prefer to live. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

However, you cannot accept the benefits that come with being a member of a given society and then reject the obligations you have to your fellow citizens, which are a natural part of living within a given society.

Our fellow citizens matter too:

We must all strive to understand our fellow citizens and appreciate the reality of their existence.

The better we know other people, the more we will see them as people just like us with hopes and dreams and a desire to create a better world for their children.

Strip away superficial differences, and we are all the same. Well, I think so anyway.

Society must exist for the benefit of everyone if it is to have any meaning at all.

Benefits versus obligations:

Everyone should benefit from being a member of society, but that means we all must contribute to the society within which we live as well. And we must also respect our fellow citizens.

Those making the greatest contribution may derive the most significant rewards, but the strong should also lend a hand to the weak.

We all have a part to play, and we all gain when society functions well. If we all work for the common good, then society can benefit everyone.

The question to ask yourself:

Ask yourself this question: “What is my contribution to society and what will my legacy be for future generations?”

To think about it another way, for what will you be remembered? For what would you like to be remembered?

How is your contribution making the world you know a better place right now?

Here are 15 inspirational quotes about society to spark your thoughts.

Quotes about society (1-8):

I think the first duty of society is justice. ~Alexander Hamilton
The most violent element in society is ignorance. ~Emma Goldman
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower
The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world that it leaves to its children. ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer
He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god. ~Aristotle
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. ~Mahatma Gandhi
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. ~Robert Kennedy
We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. ~Ronald Reagan

Quotes about society (9-15):

There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children. ~Nelson Mandela
Individual commitment to a group effort; that’s what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, and a civilization work. ~Vince Lombardi
Society as a whole benefits immeasurably from a climate in which all persons, regardless of race or gender, may have the opportunity to earn respect, responsibility, advancement and remuneration based on ability. ~Sandra Day O’Connor
Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we’re looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn’t test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power. ~PJ O’Rourke
Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it. ~John Lennon
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. ~Robert A. Heinlein
No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. ~Adam Smith
