Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
---Hal Borland---
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
---Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850---
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, "Little Gidding"---
Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.
---Martin Luther---
