New Year’s Eve: A Thought for The Cusp of the Year, Courtesy Of St Augustine
New Year’s Eve is the time when we stand on the cusp of the old year and the new, when it is timely to look both back and forward. There may be more apposite quotes for such a time and activity, but I am hard pushed to think of them:
“Bad times, hard times, that is what people keep saying, but … We are the times; such as we are, such are the times.”
~ St Augustine, 354 – 430 AD
Certainly a thought to reflect on in terms of our own intentions for 2014.
Thank you very much for that thought-provoking Augustine quote. I nicked it for my Facebook page!
Very best wishes for the new year, Helen.
Glad you like the quote—and the very best for 2014 to you too, Belinda.
Great quote at the cusp of 2014, which has already begun for you. Hope it’ll be a good one.
I hope so, too, Marion–& for you and your family as well.
