…Alfred
Lord Tennyson, poet
People wiser
than me have drafted resolutions for and reflections on the turn of the page
that signifies the transition from one year to the next. Perhaps some of their words will be helpful
to you as you ponder your own hopes and dreams for 2014.
- Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. Ralph Waldo Emerson, essayist
- Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. Helen Keller, activist
- Let our New Year’s Resolution be this: we will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word. Goran Persson, politician
- For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning. T.S. Eliot, playwright
- Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. Mark Twain, humorist
- I make 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, author
- You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. C.S. Lewis, theologian
- Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Steve Jobs, CEO
- The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Eleanor Roosevelt, columnist
- Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined. Henry David Thoreau, naturalist
- Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Winston Churchill, Prime Minister
- Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each New Year find you a better man. Benjamin Franklin, inventor
Wishing you a
peaceful, prosperous, and healthy New Year!
