"Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us."

Today I am reminded of Dr. Suess as we end this year.  I have compiled a few quotes from his books for us as we close this year and move forward into our lives.  

I meant what I said,
and I said what I meant

An elephant's faithful,
One hundred percent. 

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

"Don't give up! I believe in you all.
A person's a person, no matter how small!
And you very small persons will not have to die
If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!" 

"I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees.
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues, 

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

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

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

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

In late 1990, Ted's biographers asked if, after all that he had said in his books, there was anything left unsaid

"Any message or slogan? Whenever things go a bit sour in a job I'm doing, I always tell myself, "You can do better than this.

"The best slogan I can think of to leave with the kids of the U.S.A. would be: 'We can…and we've got to...do better than this.'"

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
