And been bow'd to the earth by its fury;
To whom the Twelve Months, that have recently pass'd
Were as harsh as a prejudiced jury -
Still, fill to the Future! and join in our chime,
The regrets of remembrance to cozen,
And having obtained a New Trial of Time,
Shout in hopes of a kindlier dozen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year-old habits.
Andre Gide
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do think New Year's resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Year's Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Year's Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second.
Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones's Diary
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Year's Eve, where auld acquaintance be forgot. Unless, of course, those tests come back positive.

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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets.
William Thomas
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.
Joey Adams
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

He who breaks a resolution is a weakling;
He who makes one is a fool.
F.M. Knowles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the year's.

Thomas Mann
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me.
Anaïs Nin
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why won't they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, can't they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping - rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year's and Easter and Christmas - But, goodness, why need they do it?

New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.
James Agate
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”

Merry Christmas Quote

John Greenleaf Whittier
Somehow, not only for Christmas, But all the long year through, the joy that you give to others, is the joy that comes back to you. And the more you spend in blessing, the poor and lonely and sad, the more of your heart's possessing, returns to you glad.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.
Washington Irving
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
Dr. Seuss
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christmas - that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia.

Oh! lovely voices of the sky
Which hymned the Saviour's birth,
Are ye not singing still on high,
Ye that sang, "Peace on earth"?
Felicia Hemans
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sometimes think we expect too much of Christmas Day. We try to crowd into it the long arrears of kindliness and humanity of the whole year. As for me, I like to take my Christmas a little at a time, all through the year. And thus I drift along into the holidays - let them overtake me unexpectedly - waking up some find morning and suddenly saying to myself: "Why, this is Christmas Day!"
David Grayson
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.
Mary Ellen Chase
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.
Charles Dickens

I would bring a lamb.
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part.
Yet what can I give Him?
I give Him my heart.
Christina Rossetti
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's approach Christmas with an expectant hush,
rather than a last-minute rush.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
God grant you the light in Christmas, which is faith;
the warmth of Christmas, which is love;
the radiance of Christmas, which is purity;
the righteousness of Christmas, which is justice;
the belief in Christmas, which is truth;
the all of Christmas, which is Christ.

Before the ice is in the pools, before the skaters go, or any cheek at nightfall is tarnished by the snow, before the fields have finished, before the Christmas tree, wonder upon wonder will arrive to me!
Emily Dickenson
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merry Christmas, Nearly Everybody!
Ogden Nash
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of being a time of unusual behavior, Christmas is perhaps the only time in the year when people can obey their natural impulses and express their true sentiments without feeling self-conscious and, perhaps, foolish. Christmas, in short, is about the only chance a man has to be himself.
Francis C. Farley

Winter Moonlight
The snow, so peaceful and serene,
caressed by the soft moonlight,
gave magical feelings to the night.

The soft blue glow,
the lovers' words that then did flow,
their lips closer and closer
until, locked in the throes
of a passionate embrace,
he decided to express his feelings,
to keep her safe.

He whispered softly,
his words like music to her ears,
"I Love You,"
and her response the same,
heard like the gentle breeze,
"And I, love you, forever."

That was the night they promised
to be together through everything,
each to care for the other when old and gray.
A lovers' pact
the most likely to last.

- Krista J. Mikula

Love is strong yet delicate.

We sat side by side in the morning light and looked out at the future together. -Brian Andres
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength,
pleads no excuse of impossibility...
It is therefore able to undertake all things,
and it completes many things,
and warrants them to take effect,
where he who does not love would faint and lie down.
Love is watchful and sleeping, slumbereth not.
Though weary, it is not tired;
though pressed, it is not straitened;
though alarmed, it is not confounded...

- Thomas A. Kempis -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love is like a mountain,
hard to climb,
but once you get to the top
the view is beautiful.

* David Schwartz Quote

Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.”
David Joseph Schwartz quotes
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success doesn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never - yes, never - sell yourself short.
David Joseph Schwartz quotes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
“How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking.”
David Joseph Schwartz quotes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Here is the basic rule for winning success. Let's mark it in the mind and remember it. The rule is: Success depends on the support of other people. The only hurdle between you and what you want to be in is the support of other people.”
David Joseph Schwartz quotes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Get the action habit - you do not need to wait until conditions are perfect.
David Joseph Schwartz quotes
----------------------------------------------------------------------

“The success combination in business is: Do what you do better... and: do more of what you do...” David Joseph Schwartz quotes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Do what you fear and fear disappears.”
David Joseph Schwartz quotes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Luck take a second look at what appears to be someone's ''good luck.'' You'll find not luck but preparation, planning, and success-producing thinking.”
David Joseph Schwartz quotes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success doesn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never -- yes, never -- sell yourself short.”
David Joseph Schwartz quotes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Your mind is a "thought factory". It's a busy factory, producing countless thoughts in one day.
David Joseph Schwartz quotes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Think success, don't think failure. At work, in your home, substitute success thinking for failure thinking. When you face a difficult situation, think, ''I'll win,'' not ''I'll probably lose.'' When you compete with someone else, think, ''I'm equal to the best,'' not ''I'm out-classed.'' When opportunity appears, think ''I can do it,'' never ''I can't. Let the master thought ''I-will-succeed'' dominate your thinking process. Thinking success conditions your mind to create plans that produce success. Thinking failure does the exact opposite. Failure thinking conditions the mind to think other thoughts that produce failure.”
David Joseph Schwartz quotes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
“There is a good side to every situation.”
David Joseph Schwartz quotes

“In the large cities that received new Americans, there flowered a golden age of restaurants, manned by the available talent from abroad and fueled by the restless wealth of the newly rich.”

He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once.

A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest... a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
