Welcome 2007

Irish toast:
In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, never in want.

T. S. Eliot:
For last year's words belong to last year's language and next year's words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning.

Mark Twain:
Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.

Henry Ward Beecher:
Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.

G. K. Chesterton:
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.
