John Baptist

“Rightly understood the New Year festival is an act of faith. It is easier for the year to change than to change ourselves. But we believe that somehow, magically, one will lead to the other.”
― R. Joseph Hoffmann

“A New Year has tiptoed in.
Let’s go forward to meet it.
Let’s welcome the 365 days it brings.
Let’s live well with love in our hearts towards God and all people.
Let’s walk through it’s corridors with praise songs on our lips.”
― Anusha Atukorala

“Ek aur Eent gir gai deewar e
Hayaat se
naadaan keh rahe hain Naya
Saal Mubarak"...!”
― Farooq Shah

“And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been, full of work that has never been done, full of tasks, claims, and demands; and let us see that we learn to take it without letting fall too much of what it has to bestow upon those who demand of it necessary, serious, and great things.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke, 1892-1910
