Quotes
“New Year ceremonies are designed to get rid of the past and to welcome the future.” – New Year’s Customs
“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
“To leave the old with a burst of song,
To recall the right and forgive the wrong;
To forget the thing that blinds you fast
To the vain regrets of the year that’s past.” – Robert B. Beattie
