Thoughts for Sunday

Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle. - Eric Zorn


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


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. - G.K. Chesterton


One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things. - John Burroughs


Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. - Benjamin Franklin


New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time. - James Agate
