As we head into the new year, we’d like to leave 2018 behind and greet 2019 with some profound quotes to ponder.
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.
Benjamin Franklin
Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.
Brad Paisley
Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you have always wanted to do but could not find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you do not think you can keep. Walk tall and smile more. You will look 10 years younger. Do not be afraid to say, I love you. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world.
Ann Landers
Let each new year find you a better person.
Benjamin Franklin
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
Henry Ford
Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live.
Henry David Thoreau
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Jackson Brown, Jr.
Take a leap of faith and begin this wondrous new year by believing.
Sarah Ban Breathnach
A cat’s New Year dream is mostly a bird! Don’t be like a cat; in New Year Dream something that you have never dreamed! Target for new things.
Mehmet Murat Ildan
For a new year to bring you something new, make a move, like a butterfly tearing its cocoon! Make a move!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.
Nelson Mandela
Another fresh new year is here. Another year to live! To Banish worry, doubt and fear, to love and give
William Arthur Ward
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.
Neil Gaiman
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
New Year’s Day is every man’s birthday.
Charles Lamb
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
If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am.
Cyril Cusack
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Eleanor Roosevelt
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
Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you’ve always wanted to do but couldn’t find the time.
Ann Landers
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
Neil Gaiman
Happy New Year from the Olympia Family.
