And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been
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.
Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.
First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.
A new oath holds pretty well; but... when it is become old, and frayed out, and damaged by a dozen annual retryings of its remains, it ceases to be serviceable; any little strain will snap it.
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. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

the object of a new year is not that we should have a new year, but rather that we should have a new soul.
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.
