Quotes / Lessons from Kids' Books

Something I noticed by chance last Monday...

I was at my part-time job, helping a kid make a craft while reflecting on how tired I am of teaching English here (another one of those evenings, haha), when, by chance, I read a wise quote from Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax" (a story from my own childhood) on a worksheet:

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

It's not exactly an epiphany, as I already knew that, at least to some extent, but seeing it right there in front of me, on an elementary school level English language worksheet, was sort of enlightening in a sense.

I suppose little quotes like these, often stumbled upon by chance, help motivate me to keep working hard and going forward.

Any quotes and/or lessons from kids' books that you like? 😁
