Year - Quotes
It is much easier to do business with the owner of the business than some employee who is likely to lose his job next year; likewise it is easier to trust the word of an autocrat than a fragile elected official.
You ask me what I want this year, And I try to make this kind and clear Just a chance that maybe we`ll find better days Cause I don`t need boxes wrapped in strings And designer love and empty things. Just a chance that maybe we`ll find better days
Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can`t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.
Hope
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come
Whispering `It will be happier`.
Stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps. Our promises made and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures or closed ourself down for fear of getting hurt. Because that`s What New Year`s is all about. Getting another chance. A chance to forgive. To do better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And to stop worrying about "what if" and start embracing what will be. So when that ball drops at midnight and it will drop let`s remember to be nice to each other. Kind to each other. And not just tonight, but all year long.

The one thing that turns the world from the longing place to a beautiful place... is love. Love and any of its forms. Love gives us hope... Hope for the New Year. That`s what New Year`s Eve is to me. Hope and a great party!
Will you please tell Santa that instead of presents this year, I just want my family back?
I don`t get birthdays; the party, the song. Celebrating another year just being alive feels... forced.
It`s Christmas Eve! It`s the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be!
Christmas lights... If they`re so festive and special, why don`t people keep them up all year round?
I am sure that I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round [...] as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely.
