And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: Give me a light that I
may tread safely into the unknown. And he replied: Go out into the darkness and
put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and
safer than a known way.

And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep
at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's
Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of
your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as
possible.

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them
ourselves. The book is called "Opportunity" and its first chapter is
New Year's Day.

Resolve to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you
may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or
brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment.

Your Merry Christmas may depend on what others do for you. But your Happy New
Year depends on what you do for others.

Certain corpuscles, denominated Christmas Books, with the ostensible intention
of swelling the tide of exhilaration, or other expansive emotions, incident upon
the exodus of the old and the inauguration of the New Year.
7.
Every new year people make resolutions to change aspects of themselves they
believe are negative. A majority of people revert back to how they were before
and feel like failures.
8.
He who breaks a resolution is a weakling; He who makes one is a fool.
9.
The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we
should have a new soul.
10.
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.
