Through iconic tales like "The Lorax" and "The Cat in the Hat," Theodor Seuss Geisel — more commonly known as Dr. Seuss — taught us important lessons about caring for the environment and obeying our parents.
And, through inspirational works like "Oh, the Places You'll Go" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," the author reminded us of the importance of having a kind heart and believing in our limitless potential.
Having written and illustrated more than 40 children's books during his career, Seuss also made us laugh as we attempted the tongue twisters of "Fox in Socks" and silently cheered for Sam I Am and his "Green Eggs and Ham."
Today, on what would have been Dr. Seuss' 112th birthday, we take a look back at 12 of the quotes that shaped our childhoods, and are still impacting kids today.
