In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace - and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
Everything changes with time. You can't predict where you're gonna be next year; you have no idea, you know what I mean?
My elder brothers were all put apprentices to different trades. I was put to the grammar-school at eight years of age, my father intending to devote me, as the tithe of his sons, to the service of the Church.
I tend to go to bed really early on New Year's Eve. Then I wake up early, drive up while it's still dark, and hike out somewhere beautiful to watch the sunrise. I just take a couple hours and have a post-mortem of the year.
Dates that come around every year help us measure progress in our lives. One annual event, New Year's Day, is a time of reflection and resolution.
The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows.
There are years that ask questions and years that answer.
The tiger springs in the new year. Us he devours.
May God be with me! May Heaven bless this New Year. May it be a year of fruitfulness, of peace and prosperity; may it be a year of peace and unity for all mankind; may the world be freed of cholera.
What I like to drink most is wine that belongs to others.
With the new year comes a refueled motivation to improve on the past one.
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.
There have been many moments over the last year when I thought it was all over.
You get a new year, you get a new start, you get a new opportunity.
Everything that happened last year stays in the past.
I don't believe in New Year's resolutions. I think if you want to change something, change it today and don't wait until the New Year.
The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.
This year has been full of lessons learned and soul searching and realizing I'm an adult. It's time to take responsibility and not take the easy way out.
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
