Some Suessical Quotes on Life, Leadership and the Pursuit of Happier Endings in a season of reduced corporate spendings.

A person’s a person, no matter how small.
– Dr. Seuss
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

One Response to “On the loose with Dr. Seuss !”

    I had a dear friend die of cancer about a year ago. When she was first diagnosed, I bought a bat and all of us at work signed it. We added the Dr. Seuss quote, “I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I’ve bought a big bat. I’m all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”

    The bat was such a comfort to her. She took it with her for chemo treatments and would show all the doctors and nurses. She said it was her constant reminder of how much we loved her. Since then, I’ve had several people comment about the bat and ask me for the quote. ~ Margo
