Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year Glitters
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson
Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with
a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let
down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let
every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take
no interest in the things that were and are past.
~Henry Ward Beecher
And ye, who have met with Adversity"s blast,
And been bow"d to the earth by its fury;
To whom the Twelve Months, that have recently pass"d
Were as harsh as a prejudiced jury -
Still, fill to the Future! and join in our chime,
The regrets of remembrance to cozen,
And having obtained a New Trial of Time,
Shout in hopes of a kindlier dozen.
~Thomas Hood
A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I"ve played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
~Edgar Guest
We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up
a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to
balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...
not looking for flaws, but for potential.
~Ellen Goodman
The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is
that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new
backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New
Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts
afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.
~G.K. Chesterton
