Quotes of the Day for 1 January 2004 – Happy New Year
Through most of recorded history, the new year began in March, but for the last four centuries or so we've marked this day as a new start. That makes me hopeful, and I plan to take advantage of it. May your New Year be a good fresh start and bring you joy and prosperity.
The quotes:
After you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion. And after ten years, throw it away and start all over.
- Alfred Edward Perlman

- Ben Sobel

- Carl Bard
The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.
- George Baker, 1877 - 1965
It's time to start living the life you've imagined.
- Henry James, 1843 - 1916
If you have made mistakes ... there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.
- Mary Pickford, 1893 - 1979
