I need to know where this quote come froms;

“And will you succeed? You will indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)”

It is one of my favorite quotes and I don’t know if it comes from one of his books. Thanks for your help and how about sharing your favorite line from his books?

Crud. I hate mixing up the “submit” and “preview” buttons.

Yup, in case the link dies after a month, it’s \*Oh, the Places You’ll Go \* by Dr. Seuss. Good book.

I like the sound of “Oh the places you’ll quote”  
sounds like a good thread title at least.

I like:

“And he puzzled and he puzzled 'til his puzzler was sore.”

Who was “he”? The Grinch, of course!
