silent limbo of the past.
Let it go, for it was imperfect,
and thank God that it can go.

New Year’s Eve Sayings by Thomas Hood
And ye, who have met with Adversity’s blast,
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.
~Thomas Hood
New Year’s Eve Sayings by P.J. O’Rourke
The proper behavior all through the
holiday season is to be drunk.
This drunkenness culminates on New Year’s Eve,
when you get so drunk you kiss the
person you’re married to.
~P.J. O’Rourke
New Year’s Eve Sayings by Edward Payson Powell
The Old Year has gone.
Let the dead past
bury its own dead.
The New Year
has taken possession
of the clock of time.
All hail the duties and
possibilities of the coming
twelve months!
~Edward Payson Powell
New Year’s Eve Sayings by Hamilton Wright Mabie
New Year’s eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of
the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the
passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the
same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other
nights.
~Hamilton Wright Mabie

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.

New Year’s Eve Sayings by T.S. Eliot, “Little Gidding”
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, “Little Gidding”
