Ann Landers Quotes

As we look forward to the New Year, let's resolve to recommit ourselves to the values we share.

The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written. We can help write that story by setting goals.

With the new year comes a refueled motivation to improve on the past one.

I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. You can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

New Year's Resolutions come and go. Some we keep, some we don't. In order to make lasting changes in our lives, we must first change our minds. We sometimes forget, and we often feel stuck, but we all have the power to do so.

Resolutions are popular because everyone feels they could use a little improvement.

Dreams grow if you grow.

Ambition is your inner voice that tells you you can and should strive to go beyond your circumstances or station in life.

I like starting projects in January. That's the best time to start something. It's so inward.

Continuing to grow and continuing to improve is my main goal.

Everyone wants to start the year off well.

New Year's Eve is a great time to think about making a resolution to change a behavior, improve upon a practice, or to start something new. Most people don't keep their resolutions very far into the year, but there's no reason to wait until Dec 31st to reboot.

Every day is a new opportunity to reach that goal.

I'm waking up to say I tried, instead of waking up to another TV guide.

From New Year's on the outlook brightens; good humor lost in a mood of failure returns. I resolve to stop complaining.

Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you have always wanted to do but could not find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you do not think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You will look 10 years younger. Do not be afraid to say, I love you. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world.

You make New Year's resolutions. And you make them into the teeth of old resolutions which were different. Then you don't keep your new resolutions and you tell yourself you are weak-willed. You aren't weak-willed, you are simply obeying yourself as of yesterday.

You can start where you are with what you've got and go wherever it is you want to go.

You know who it is? It's me in 10 years. So I turned 25. Ten years later, that same person comes to me and says, 'So, are you a hero?' And I was like, 'not even close. No, no, no.' She said, 'Why?' I said, 'Because my hero's me at 35.' So you see every day, every week, every month and every year of my life, my hero's always 10 years away. I'm never gonna be my hero. I'm not gonna attain that. I know I'm not, and that's just fine with me because that keeps me with somebody to keep on chasing.

New Year = A New Life! Decide today who you will become, what you will give how you will live.

I believe in goals, but I believe that the individual should set his own. Goal setting should cause us to stretch as we make our way.

What is past is past. You can do nothing about yesterday and last month and the failures of last year, but you can do everything toward making tomorrow and the rest of your life what you always dreamed it could be.

I never relax on the year before. Every year I want to get more out of myself so I use it as a driving force, rather than a pressure thing.

You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to any of your heroes. Become what you wish to be.
