Ringing in the new year with great quotes from the famous that have stood the test of time

The celebration of the New Year is the oldest of all the holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4,000 years ago. I would like to share some famous quotes surrounding this holiday:

"Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each year find you a better man." - Ben Franklin

"Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits." - Author Unknown

"New Years Day is every man's birthday." - Charles Lamb

"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." -T.S. Eliot

I wish you a peaceful, prosperous and safe journey on your path in life in 2011.
