This is not the first New Year. Nor is it the last! Then why do we celebrate New Years as if the world is about to end? Do New Years justify a celebration? For a cynic, a New Year is just another day. But for an optimist, New Years herald the birth of hope. So fill your heart with joy, as these New Years quotes teach you to relish each day of your life.

Henry Ward Beecher
Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.

Vern McLellan
What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.

Hartley Coleridge
The merry year is born
Like the bright berry from the naked thorn.

Brooks Atkinson
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.

Michael Altshuler
The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.

Jay Leno
New Year's Eve, where auld acquaintance be forgot! Unless, of course, those tests come back positive.
