The object of a new year
Is not that we should have
A new year.
It is that we should have
A new soul.
- G.K. Chesterton
The chief beauty about time
is that you cannot waste it
In advance.
The next year, the next day,
The next hour
are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled,
as if you had never wasted
Or misapplied
a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf
Every hour if you choose.
- Arnold Bennett
And I said to the one,
Who stood at the gate of the year,
'Give me a light that I may tread
Safely into the Unknown.'
And he replied,
'Go out into the darkness and put
Your hand into the hand of God.
That shall be to you better than
Light and safer than a known way.'
- Minnie Haskins
If it makes no difference
What you believe,
It makes no difference
Whether you believe.
- James E Gibbons
"I Believe"
I believe for every drop
Of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere
In the darkest night
a candle glows
I believe for everyone
Who goes astray,
Someone will come to
Show the way
I believe, I believe
I believe above a storm
The smallest prayer
Can still be heard
I believe that someone
In the great somewhere
Hears every word
Every time I hear a
New born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or
See the sky
then I know why,
I believe
Every time I hear a
New born baby cry,
Or touch a leaf or
See the sky
then I know why,
I believe
