And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been
Wherever smart people work, doors are unlocked.
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or objects.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions.
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Hope Smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'.
Maybe this year, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives not looking for flaws, but looking for potential.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something.
First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.
Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Whatever you're scared of doing, Do it.
There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.
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.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world.

Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
Of all sound of all bells... most solemn and touching is the peal which rings out the Old Year.
the object of a new year is not that we should have a new year, but rather that we should have a new soul.
So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.
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.
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.
