Die schönsten Zitate und Sprüche von Dr. Seuss

Manchmal erkennt man den Wert eines Augenblick erst dann, wenn er zur Erinnerung wird.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.

Du weißt, dass du verliebt bist wenn du nicht einschlafen kannst, weil die Realität endlich besser ist als deine Träume.

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

Wenn nicht jemand wie du sich endlich kümmert, wird nichts jemals besser. Glaube mir!

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

Lang, lang ist es her, noch grün war das Gras,
die Wolken ganz weiß
und der Teich herrlich nass,
und die Schwippschwäne sangen, der Wind trug es fort.
Da kam ich an diesen herrlichen Ort.
Und ich sah die Bäume!
Die Trüffelabäume!
Hier schaukelten sie auf grüner Wiese
die knallbunten Tuffs in der Morgenbrise.

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
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...

The more that you read,
The more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
The more places you'll go.

When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad...
you should do what I do!
Just tell yourself, Duckie,
you're really quite lucky!
Some people are much more...
oh, ever so much more...
oh, muchly much-much more
unlucky than you!

I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.

'Mister', erklärte er, 'ähm, mit Verlaub',
er musste noch niesen vom Sägemehlstaub.
'Ich bin der Lorax', so bellte der Wicht.
'Ich sprech' für die Bäume, denn die können's ja nicht.
Ich frage dich, Mister', er schnappte nach Luft.
'WAS machst du aus meinem Trüffelatuff?'

Also mach den Mund auf, Junge! Denn jede Stimme zählt!

So, open your mouth, lad! For every voice counts!

Ein Mensch ist ein Mensch, egal wie klein er ist.

A person's a person, no matter how small.

You ought to be thankful a hole heaping lot,
for The places and people you're lucky you're not!

Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Manchmal sind die Fragen kompliziert und die Antworten einfach.

Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.

Unsinn weckt die grauen Zellen. Er hilft einen Sinn für Humor zu entwickeln, was in unserer Welt wahnsinnig wichtig ist.

Nonsense wakes up the brain cells. And it helps develop a sense of humor, which is awfully important in this day and age.

Wir sind alle ein bisschen verrückt und das Leben ist ein bisschen verrückt, und wenn wir jemanden finden, dessen Verrücktheit mit unserer kompatibel ist, tun wir uns zusammen in gemeinsamer Verrücktheit und nennen es Liebe.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

Ich mag Unsinn, er weckt die grauen Zellen. Fantasie ist eine wichtige Zutat des Lebens.

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

Step with care and great tact
And remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

I am the Lorax, and I'll yell and I'll shout for the fine things on earth that are on their way out!

Und dann kam dem Grinch 'ne ganz neue Idee:
"Ist Weihnachten doch nicht nur Essen und Schenken?
Ist Weihnachten... doch noch mehr?" musste er denken.

Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before
What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store
What if Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!

Am wahrscheinlichsten aber, glaub ich, wird sein:
Sein Herz war einfach zwei Nummern zu klein.

But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

Welcome Christmas. Bring your cheer,
Cheer to all Whos, far and near.

Weihnachten wird immer so lange dauern, wie wir Herz an Herz und Hand in Hand stehen.

Christmas Day will always be
Just as long as we have we.
Welcome, Christmas, while we stand
Heart to heart and hand in hand.

With a smile to his soul, he descended Mount Crumpet
Cheerily blowing "Who! Who!" on his trumpet.

Nun... die Hus warn nicht böse,
Denn des Grinchs kleines Herz wuchs auf die dreifache Größe!

And what happened then? Well, in Whoville they say
That the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day!

Dann den Schornstein hinab. Der war ziemlich schmal.
Doch wenn's der Weihnachtsmann schaffte, dann der Grinch allemal.

Then he slid down the chimney, a rather tight pinch.
But if Santa could do it, then so could the Grinch.

He brought back their snoof and their tringlers and fuzzles,
Brought back their pantookas, their dafflers and wuzzles.

"Ich weiß genau, wie!" Der Grinch lachte im Rachen.
"Ich werde mir Sachen wie vom Weihnachtsmann machen."
Und er gickste und gackste: "Das ist gar nicht schwer!
Mit dem Rock und der Mütze seh ich fast aus wie er!"

"I know just what to do!" The Grinch laughed in his throat.
"I'll make a quick Santy Claus hat and a coat."

Then he growled, with his Grinch fingers nervously drumming,
"I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming!"

Packed it up with their presents, their ribbons, their wrappings,
Their snoof and their fuzzles, their tringlers and trappings!
Ten thousand feet up, up the side of Mount Crumpet,
He rode with his load to the tiptop to dump it!

From there to here, and here to there, funny things are everywhere.

Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.

How did it get so late so soon?
Its night before its afternoon.
December is here before its June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?
