1、Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
一年来到尽头，并不意味着结束或开始，而是一个过程，在这一过程中的经验不断为我们累计智慧。— Hal Borland 哈尔·伯兰德
2、The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul.
我们过新年的目的并不是为了迎接新的一年，而是迎接一个全新的自我。— G.K.Chestertom G.K.切斯特顿
3、Good resolutions are simply chechs that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
好的新年决心是无需花费分文就可以得到的资产。— Oscar Wilde 奥斯卡·王尔德
4、Smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'...”——Alfred Lord Tennyson
在来年的门槛上微笑呢喃道：“明年会更好……”——丁尼生，英国诗人
5、“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, A Chesterton calendar
设立新年的目的并不是我们要过崭新的一年，而是：我们应该有新的灵魂，新的鼻子，新的脚，新的脊梁，新的耳朵，新的眼睛。一个具体的人若是在新年里不痛下决心，他就根本不会下任何决心。一个人若是未打算以从头再来的姿态做事，他就肯定做不好事。——英国文豪切斯特顿
