Enjoy these Shel Silverstein quotes that will take you back to studying poetry as a child. If you have enjoyed reading Silverstein’s stories as a child the quotes will take you back to that time. Shel has a special ability to bring a smile to your face through his stories and poems. While the quotes might take you back to your childhood, the truly special thing is how the quotes are so inspiring. Whether you are young or old, enjoy the quotes and let them inspire you to do what is important to you. Just like Shel Silverstein explains, if you choose to put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. Enjoy the Shel Silverstein quotes below. Inspiring Shel Silverstein quotes “If there is a book that you want to read but isn’t written yet, write it.” “To me, freedom entitles you to do something. Not to not do something.” “It’s amazing the difference a bit of sky can make.” “What I do is good. I wouldn’t let it out if I didn’t think it was.” “I think if you’re a creative person, you should just go about your business, do your work and not care about how it’s received.” “I never read reviews, because if you believe the good ones you have to believe the bad one too.” “Don’t be dependent on anyone else.” “Never explain what you do. It speaks for itself. You only muddle it by talking about it.” “Just ’cause somethin’ ain’t been done don’t mean it can’t be did…” “Anything can happen. Anything can be.” Wise Shel Silverstein quotes 11. “Everything isn’t everything.” 12. “Don’t know where he’s going but sees where he’s been.” 13. “Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child.” 14. “I was always prepared for success but that means that I have to be prepared for failure, too.” 15. “When the light turns green, you go. When the light turns red, you stop. But what do you do when the light turns blue with orange and lavender spots?” 16. “I can be someone's and still be my own.” 17. “This bridge will take you halfway there - the last few steps you will have to take yourself.” 18. “How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em.” 19. “Tell me I'm clever, Tell me I'm kind, Tell me I'm talented, Tell me I'm cute, Tell me I'm sensitive, Graceful and wise, Tell me I'm perfect - But tell me the truth.” 20. “There is a place where the sidewalk ends.” Intriguing Shel Silverstein quotes from his poems and books 21. “Once I spoke the language of the flowers, Once I understood each word the caterpillar said, Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings, And shared a conversation with the housefly in my bed. Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets, And joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow, Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . . How did it go? How did it go?” 22. “Listen to the voice that speaks inside.” 23. “Thanksgiving dinner's sad and thankless. Christmas dinner's dark and blue. When you stop and try to see it From the turkey's point of view. Sunday dinner isn't sunny. Easter feasts are just bad luck. When you see it from the viewpoint of a chicken or a duck. Oh how I once loved tuna salad Pork and lobsters, lamb chops too Till I stopped and looked at dinner From the dinner's point of view.” 24. “If you're a bird, be an early bird. But if you're a worm, sleep late.” 25. “Once there was a tree, and she loved a little boy.” 26. “An oak tree and a rosebush grew, Young and green together, Talking the talk of growing things- Wind and water and weather. And while the rosebush sweetly bloomed The oak tree grew so high That now it spoke of newer things- Eagles, mountain peaks and sky. "I guess you think you're pretty great," The rose was heard to cry, Screaming as loud as it possibly could To the treetop in the sky. "And now you have no time for flower talk, Now that you've grown so tall." "It's not so much that I've grown," said the tree, "It's just that you've stayed so small.”” 27. “Since my friend left me, I've got nothing to do but walking. I walk to forget. I walk, I escape, I get further. My friend will not come back, now I am a marathon man.” 28. “If you are a dreamer come in.” 29. “And the tree was happy.” 30. “We're all worth the same when we turn off the light.” Motivational Shel Silverstein quotes 31. “ALICE She drank from a bottle called DRINK ME And she grew so tall, She ate from a plate called TASTE ME And down she shrank so small. And so she changed, while other folks Never tried nothin' at all.” 32. “When I am gone what will you do? Who will write and draw for you? Someone smarter--someone new? Someone better--maybe YOU!” 33. “It's all the same to the clam.” 34. “I believe that if you don’t want to do anything, then sit there and don’t do it, but don’t expect people to hand you a corn beef sandwich and wash your socks for you.” 35. “So I'm all of love that could make it today.” 36. “And he didn't really know where he was going, but he did know he was going somewhere, because you really have to go somewhere, don't you?” 37. “I would hope that people, no matter what age, would find something to identify with in my books, pick one up and experience a personal sense of discovery. That's great. But for them, not for me.” 38. “It's always a nice feeling, having people think that you feel things much deeper than you're allowed to say, but this isn't true. If you want to find out what a writer or a cartoonist really feels, look at his work. That's enough.” More Shel Silverstein quotes 39. “People are always giving you credit for really wanting to say more than you said.” 40. “How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give ‘em.” 41. “I keep meeting all the right people at all the wrong times.” 42. “Make it so good and so clear that it doesn't need any further explanation.” 43. “If we were a rock ‘n’ roll band, we’d travel all over the land. We’d play and we’d sing and wear spangly things, if we were a rock ‘n’ roll band.” 44. “If I had a brontosaurus, I would name him Horace or Morris. But if suddenly one day he had A lot of little brontosauri- I would change his name to Laurie.” 45. “If you are a dreamer, come sit by my fire. For we have some flax-golden tales to spin; come in! Come in!” 46. “Eddie touched a troll.” 47. “We can’t hold hands- someone might see. Won’t you please hold toes with me?” 48. “He wasted his wishes on wishing.” 49. “Teddy said it was a hat, So I put it on. Now dad is saying, "where the heck's the toilet plunger gone?” 50. “If the track is tough and the hill is rough, thinking you can just ain’t enough!” Now that you have had a chance to enjoy these quotes from Shel Silverstein, have they inspired you to try something new or to chase a dream? One of the reasons that Shel was able to connect to so many people through his stories is that he was writing about people that do things and have adventures. Whether you want a so called adventure or not is up to you, the point is don’t waste your precious life on wishes. Get out there and do something. Write a story, start a new career, live that adventurous life or just follow your dreams. Whatever you decide to do I hope that like Shel Silverstein, you will encourage others to do the same.
