The best moments of childhood often involved incredible stories. The books we read as kids can stay with us for ever, and provide truly inspiring quotes that we can appreciate even as adults. 

Join me in experiencing the most profound quotes found in children's books. 
1. “Today you are YOU, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than YOU.” 

(Dr. Seuss, Happy Birthday To You)

2. "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. Anything can be."

(Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends)

3. “Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you. Because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.”

( Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

4. “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” 

( J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone)

5. “For what you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing: it also depends on what sort of person you are.” 

(C.S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew)

6. “Oh, it’s delightful to have ambitions. I’m so glad I have such a lot. And there never seems to be any end to them–that’s the best of it. Just as soon as you attain to one ambition you see another one glittering higher up still. It does make life so interesting.” 

(L.M. Montgomery, Anne Of Green Gables)

7. "Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become real."

(Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit)

8. “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” 

(Antoine de Saint Exupery, The Little Prince)

9. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.”

( Dr. Seuss, Oh The Places You’ll Go!)

10. “I don’t understand it any more than you do, but one thing I’ve learned is that you don’t have to understand things for them to be.” 

(Madeleine L’Engle, A Wrinkle In Time)
