And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been
The secret of getting ahead is getting started
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.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Those who gave thee a body, furnished it with weakness; but He who gave thee Soul, armed thee with resolution. Employ it, and thou art wise; be wise and thou art happy.
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.
Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.
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.
Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

You can learn new things at any time in your life if you're willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you.
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.
Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
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.
