Here it is:

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

I heard it years ago...
really want to know...
I found once (not from a very reliable source, in fact, quite UNreliable at best) that it was Dr.Seuess...
thoughts?
Much appreciated!

Here's a couple citings found on the Internet. I'd always grouped this quote with the category "warm fuzzy." I'd like to see a real "source" for this quote rather than the following attributions (p.s., I do not trust "brainyquote" as an authoritative source).
