The ideal state is meekness, or humility, or the semi-invalid state of the old. Year after year I am becoming nobler and nobler. If I can live to be decrepit enough, I shall be a saint. ~ Charles Fort
Old Year quotes by Charles Fort
He who breaks a resolution is a weakling; He who makes one is a fool. ~ Farquhar McGillivray Knowles
Old Year quotes by Farquhar McGillivray Knowles
It was very unusual, because normally the producer requests the test to determine whether they want to hire someone or not. Olivia was concerned about playing a seventeen year old. ~ Randal Kleiser
Old Year quotes by Randal Kleiser
No one ever regarded the First of January with indifference. It is that from which all date their time, and count upon what is left. It is the nativity of our common Adam. ~ Charles Lamb
Old Year quotes by Charles Lamb
Christmas was close at hand, in all his bluff and hearty honesty; it was the season of hospitality, merriment, and open-heartedness; the old year was preparing, like an ancient philosopher, to call his friends around him, and amidst the sound of feasting and revelry to pass gently and calmly away. ~ Charles Dickens
Old Year quotes by Charles Dickens
I think that there's real wisdom in leaving the old year behind you as you step into the New Year. However, if you're foolish enough to leave the lessons behind as well, it won't matter that you left the old year behind because you're going to repeat it all over again anyway. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Old Year quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year-old habits. ~ Andre Gide
Old Year quotes by Andre Gide
Of all sound of all bells ... most solemn and touching is the peal which rings out the Old Year. ~ Charles Lamb
Old Year quotes by Charles Lamb
IT wanted little more than a fortnight to Christmas; but the weather showed no signs yet of the frost and snow, conventionally associated with the coming season. The atmosphere was unnaturally warm, and the old year was dying feebly in sapping rain and enervating mist. ~ Wilkie Collins
Old Year quotes by Wilkie Collins
The merry year is born Like the bright berry from the naked thorn. ~ Hartley Coleridge
Old Year quotes by Hartley Coleridge
Man is a victim of dope
In the incurable form of hope! ~ Ogden Nash
Old Year quotes by Ogden Nash
I would like to go to University and be like a normal 20 year old. ~ Louise Woodward
Old Year quotes by Louise Woodward
To start this diary rightly, it should begin on the last day of the old year, when, at breakfast, I received a letter from Mrs Hallett. She said that she had had to dismiss Lily at a moments notice, owing to her misbehaviour. We naturally supposed that a certain kind of misbehaviour was meant; a married gardener, I hazarded. Our ~ Virginia Woolf
Old Year quotes by Virginia Woolf
The New Year, the New Year. Everywhere the New Year! The Old Year was already looked upon as dead; and its effects were selling cheap, like some drowned mariner's aboardship. Its patterns were Last Year's, and going at a sacrifice, before its breath was gone. Its treasures were mere dirt, beside the riches of its unborn successor! ~ Charles Dickens
Old Year quotes by Charles Dickens
Old Year! upon the Stage of Time You stand to bow your last adieu; A moment, and the prompter's chime Will ring the curtain down on you. ~ Robert W. Service
Old Year quotes by Robert W. Service
Here is a precious message for the New Year from the old year: Be an octopus in the New Year and hold the life tightly with six arms! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Old Year quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
I stood on a tower in the wet, And New Year and Old Year met, And winds were roaring and blowing: And I said, O years, that meet in tears, Have ye aught that is worth the knowing? Science enough and exploring, Wanderers coming and going, Matter enough for deploring, But aught that is worth the knowing? ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
Old Year quotes by Alfred Lord Tennyson
You know, I'm really bad on the computer. I'm really lame, man. I read and hang out with my kids. I've turned into a five year old. ~ Ally Walker
Old Year quotes by Ally Walker
Let the old year be gone and with it your old habit of getting in your own way! This is your year! It will reveal itself to you one day at a time. In each day you will have countless opportunities to have your actions reflect your goals. Don't throw away another day/another year. Make each day count! If you see something different for yourself in the future, you have to do something different for yourself in the present. Let today be the day you interrupt your thoughts of "I should" with your actions of DOING! ~ Steve Maraboli
Old Year quotes by Steve Maraboli
I am running into a new year and the old years blow back like a wind that I catch in my hair like strong fingers like all my old promises and it will be hard to let go of what I said to myself about myself when I was sixteen and twenty-six and thirty-six but I am running into a new year and I beg what i love and I leave to forgive me. ~ Lucille Clifton
Old Year quotes by Lucille Clifton
The new year on which we are about to enter is unopened, and we know not what shall befall us; but if we follow Christ we need have no fear. So let us leave the old year with gratitude to God for its mercies, and with penitence for its failures and sins; and let us enter the new year with earnest resolve in Christ's name to make it the holiest and most beautiful year we have ever lived. ~ J.R. Miller
Old Year quotes by J.R. Miller
Maybe this year, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives not looking for flaws, but looking for potential. ~ Ellen Goodman
Old Year quotes by Ellen Goodman
You seem sad, Coriel."

I nodded. "The world makes me sad these days. Things I would not have noticed a year ago seem dreadful to me now. Is that a function of growing older? And will everything seem more dreadful every year, from now until I die? ~ Sharon Shinn
Old Year quotes by Sharon Shinn
Creativity, innovation, and nontraditional ways of solving problems are feared by noncreative, uninnovative, and traditional people. It causes them apprehension and consternation. They cope with their fear by criticizing people who do things differently. If nothing can ever change, nothing can ever get any better. If you don't create new ways to solve old problems, you'll always be stuck with the old problems. ~ Maggie Righetti
Old Year quotes by Maggie Righetti
When I was 14 years old, I decided I could cook. It was either that or puberty. ~ Dom DeLuise
Old Year quotes by Dom DeLuise
I often felt like a very old person trapped in a young person's body. ~ Tahereh Mafi
Old Year quotes by Tahereh Mafi
Greatest delight in life is, having someone who loves you for the lifetime! Joy is what one needs the most in life. You can experience the moment of jollity when someone says "You are the inspiration" It can be found in everyday life, when a child gives you a smile while crossing the road or an old man thanking you for an help. ~ Jyoti Patel
Old Year quotes by Jyoti Patel
Now he knew it was worse. Fuck. Deck wasn't done. Lined up two hundred women, told me to choose the one for you, I'd choose the one back there. Settin' myself up for what I'm gonna see again, gonna hold onto the knowledge that a year ago, my boy had one serious, fuckin' bitch sleepin' in his bed and he was sleepin' in his guest room. ~ Kristen Ashley
Old Year quotes by Kristen Ashley
The house smelled like fireplace kindling, and hot water in old brass pipes - like metal melting into wood and becoming something all its own. It smelled like his childhood. Like chaos and terror and oatmeal cookies and lamb stew, and nighttime in front of that drafty front window. And the smell of it brought back thoughts, long past, about escaping from inside the walls and evoked the helplessness of every board that kept the place upright. ~ Melodie Ramone
Old Year quotes by Melodie Ramone
The only thing I understand deeply, because in my teens I was thinking about it, and every year of my life, is software. So I'll never be hands-on on anything except software. ~ Bill Gates
Old Year quotes by Bill Gates
Let us not despise the woman who is neither mother nor daughter nor wife. Let us not limit our esteem to family life, narrow our tolerance to simple egotism. Given that heaven rejoices more at the repentance of one sinner than over a hundred good men who have never sinned, let us endeavor to make heaven rejoice. We may be rewarded with interest. Let us leave along the path the alms of our forgiveness for those whose earthly desires have marooned them, so that a divine hope may save them, and, as the wise old women say when they prescribe a remedy of their own invention, if it doesn't help, at least it can't hurt. ~ Alexandre Dumas Fils
Old Year quotes by Alexandre Dumas Fils
The woods of Arcady are dead,
And over it their antique joy;
Of old the world on dreaming fed;
Gray Truth is now her painted toy. ~ W.B.Yeats
Old Year quotes by W.B.Yeats
Every year we find something new, we go faster, and that's what Formula One is about . ~ Michael Schumacher
Old Year quotes by Michael Schumacher
London sank into February gloom and rain spattered the dirty pavements as Daisy Dunbar, fourteen years old, skinny and cold, struggled to get home. ~ Bex Archer
Old Year quotes by Bex Archer
Well, I'm too old to pimp, and too young to die, so I'm just gonna keep playin' ~ Clark Terry
Old Year quotes by Clark Terry
Steve Paikin : Can you imagine evolution being unproved someday ?
Jerry A. Coyne : It's possible, there are some facts that could disprove evolution, for example if I dug down into rocks say.. a billion years old and found a fossil of human or a fossil of rabbit and you did that and you were certain enough that these rocks were old, that would completely overthrow darwinism but the fact is, you know, over a 150 years of digging we haven't found a fossil out of place.
[Evolution and Religion - Paul Nelson vs. Jerry Coyne/Denis Lamoureux, 16m40] ~ Jerry A. Coyne
Old Year quotes by Jerry A. Coyne
Every time I've been to Los Angeles, I've hated it. My brother works there, so I usually go each year for a holiday. ~ Laurence Fox
Old Year quotes by Laurence Fox
It is evil," the Old Wise One said. "For very long we have walked carefree in the only paradise. It would be better if all here were to die." The last Shadow child said firmly, "Nothing is worse than that I should die," and something that had wrapped the world was gone. ~ Gene Wolfe
Old Year quotes by Gene Wolfe
Lagos has also had a particular effect on my career. I was there early, and although it was a courageous step to go there and invest on this scale - I went there maybe 20 times - it's also been also super-controversial. There's an old school of thought that somebody like me has no place to go there.Because of colonialism and so on. ~ Rem Koolhaas
Old Year quotes by Rem Koolhaas
But what kind of love is this that is so unaware of itself that it can be hidden until the day of judgement? The answer is obvious. Because love is hidden it cannot be a visible virtue or a habit which can be acquired. Take heed, it says, that you do not exchange true love for an amiable virtuousness, a human "quality." Genuine love is always self-forgetful in the true sense of the word. But if we are to have it, our old man must die with all his virtues and qualities, and this can only be done where the disciple forgets self and clings solely to Christ. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Old Year quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
frost heaved your bones in the ground
old toilers, soil makers:
O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost. ~ Donald Hall
Old Year quotes by Donald Hall
It wasn't a secret that I was gay. I'd come out to my parents during my junior year of high school, on the day that I also wrecked the family car. ~ Mary Cheney
Old Year quotes by Mary Cheney
If you find that the reader of popular romances
however uneducated a reader, however bad the romances
goes back to his old favourites again and again, then you have pretty good evidence that they are to him a sort of poetry. ~ C.S. Lewis
Old Year quotes by C.S. Lewis
I am not sure that we would always want 16-year-olds to do all the things they can do. I am afraid that I do not agree with the hon. Gentleman on the voting age. I think that it should remain as it is. ~ Tony Blair
Old Year quotes by Tony Blair
Sitting by the chimney corner as we grow old, the commonest things around us take on live meanings and hint at the difference between these driving times and the calm, slow moving days when we were young. ~ Rebecca Harding Davis
Old Year quotes by Rebecca Harding Davis
Some [intentional communities], like the Shakers and the Harmony Society, have endured for a century or even longer. The Hutterians, to cite an extreme example, are today still strongly committed to communal living after practicing it, punctuated only by occasional lapses into private enterprise, for 450 years. The Hutterian rate of membership turnover has been only about 0.0006 per year. ~ Benjamin Zablocki
Old Year quotes by Benjamin Zablocki
Keep moving. It's hard for old age to hit a moving target. ~ Joan Rivers
Old Year quotes by Joan Rivers
Particularly with internships, you have to work for a year with no money. How on Earth are you going to finance that? ~ Rob James-Collier
Old Year quotes by Rob James-Collier
[M]y first published book had just appeared in stores. The last year of my life
the year of finishing it, editing it, and seeing it through its various page-proof passes
ranks among the most unnerving of my young life. It has not felt good, or freeing. It has felt nerve-shreddingly disquieting. Publication simply allows one that much more to worry about. This cannot be said to aspiring writers often or sternly enough. Whatever they carry within themselves they believe publication cures will not, I can all but guarantee, be cured. You just wind up with new diseases. ~ Tom Bissell
Old Year quotes by Tom Bissell
The traditional fixed-rate 30-year mortgages, which were once a majority of all mortgages, were no longer a majority during the housing boom, as ARMs and other "creative" ways of financing the purchase of a home grew rapidly to cope with soaring housing prices. Such innovative mortgages quickly went from being rare to becoming common, especially in places with very high housing costs. ~ Thomas Sowell
Old Year quotes by Thomas Sowell
Clean water is a necessity that we can no longer take for granted. Each year more people die of water related diseases than any other cause of death on this planet. With a higher rate of suffering and mortality than diabetes, cancer, high cholesterol, or war; or any two combined for that matter! An entire economy is growing around water. Those without money are suffering the most and risk severe illness from contaminated sources ~ Jewel
Old Year quotes by Jewel
But I, who am old, who have done what I must do, who stand in the daylight facing my own death, the end of all possibility, I know that there is only one power that is real and worth the having. And that is the power, not to take, but to accept. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Old Year quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Overweight and obesity is the second leading cause of death, killing 300,000 people a year, There is not a miracle pill that will lead to weight loss. ~ Richard Carmona
Old Year quotes by Richard Carmona
If you look back to a picture of me when I was 12 years old, you will probably see me in a leather jacket trying to look like Elvis! ~ Drake Bell
Old Year quotes by Drake Bell
He stopped. She heard the intake of his breath. "You are my country, Desdemona." Yearning, harsh and poignant and she felt herself swaying toward him. "My Egypt. My hot, harrowing desert and my cool, verdant Nile, infinitely lovely and unfathomable and sustaining."
She gasped.
His gaze fell, shielded by his lashes. An odd, half-mocking smile played about his lips. "You'll never hear old Blake say something like that."
She swallowed, unable to speak, her senses abraded by his stimulating words, her pulse hammering in anticipation? Trepidation?
"Remember my words next time he calls you a bloody English rose. ~ Connie Brockway
Old Year quotes by Connie Brockway
This time of year, I live and breathe the beach. My cheeks feel raw with the wind throwing sand against them. My thighs sting from the friction of
the saddle. My arms ache from holding up two thousand pounds of horse. I have forgotten what it is like to be warm and what a full night's sleep feels like and what my name sounds like spoken instead of shouted across yards of sand.
I am so, so alive. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Old Year quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
The only thing worse than being whaled on by your drunken old man is waiting for your old man to beat you. ~ John Goode
Old Year quotes by John  Goode
You can see the old cities still everywhere. The bones and bricks go to dust, but the little pieces of plastic never do - they never adapt either. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Old Year quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
