“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.

“Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.”

• - Benjamin Franklin

“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 certainly to be effective.”

 - G.K. Chesterton.

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”

- Bill Vaughan.
