"Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. ~Hal Borland"

I agree with this quotation. When a year begins, nothing has to end well or beggin well. Life simply continues as you live it, it doesn't care of the date.

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. ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce
I select this one because I like it. I like the new opportunity that the New Year's Day give to you. I think equal to the writer of this quote.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850

*I have chosen this because I really like the snow and the Christmas and more if it is in a special day for example the new year.

Bye! ;)

The quotation I've chosen is:
"Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. ~Hal Borland"
I agree with this quotation. I think that when a year finishes and a new one starts, everything don't have got to finish or start well. I don't care about the end nor the beginning, but how you live the three hundred and sixty three days of the year left.
Just live your life.

A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
~Edgar Guest
I chose this Quotations because I always love my friends and my family.
In 24 th of December I celebrate with my family.
I like a lot the Christmas.

Many people look forward to the next year for a new start on old habits.

I agree with this sentence, many people say: in this new year I'll... for example: I won't smoke, I will eat healthy food and other things.
But not all the people achieve their objectives

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.

I like this quotation more than the others because people like my parents have told me several times not to be a pessimist, but to be an optimist. I also agree with it; I think that instead of being afraid of something, like the New Year, you have to think how you will face it.

I have chosen this quotation:"I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too much of a daily event for me. ~Anaïs Nin"

I chose this quotation because I think that, you don't have to think about the future.It is better to life the present.For me the past and the future are less important than the present.

Remember this: FORGET THE PAST,LIVE THE PRESENT AND DON'T THINK OF THE FUTURE.

A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.

"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential. ~ Ellen Goodman."

I've chosen this quotation because I think exactly the same that it want to tell us. Each New Year’s Day when we remember what we have done or passed during the last year, we always think in our failures or in the bad moments that we have spent. I prefer to think in the new posibilities that the new year can give us in the future: the new good moments, our new achivements, etc., because doing that we can be happier and we can get better feelings. Thinking about bad things only makes us sadder.
