"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man".  ~ Benjamin Franklin

 

"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right."  ~ Oprah Winfrey

"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

 

"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

 

"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
