Douglas Pagels, A Wonderful Resolution For The New Year!

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution. – Kahlil Gibran
To be, or not to be that is the question Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them To die to sleep No more and by a sleep to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to,--'t is a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep To sleep perchance to dream ay, there's the rub For in that sleep of death what dreams may come, When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life For who would bear the whips and scorns of time, The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, The pangs of despised love, the law's delay, The insolence of office and the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of Thus conscience does make cowards of us all And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, And enterprises of great pith and moment With this regard their currents turn awry, And lose the name of action. – William Shakespeare
"Where there is a will there is a way," is an old and true saying. He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the barriers to it, and secures its achievement. To think we are able, is almost to be so - to determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself. – Samuel Smiles
A few years ago I made a New Years Resolution never to make another New Years Resolution again and so far it's the only one that I have actually kept. – Tom Zegan
A good resolution is like an old horse, which is often saddled but rarely ridden. – Mexican Proverb
A resolution to avoid an evil is seldom framed till the evil is so far advanced as to make avoidance impossible. – Thomas Hardy
A wise man should never resolve upon anything, at least, never let the world know his resolution, for if he cannot reach that he is ashamed.* – John Selden
Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing. – Abraham Lincoln
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate - to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance. – Thomas Jefferson
The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad. – Friedrich Nietzsche
The reason of a resolution is more to be considered than the resolution itself. – John Holt
Those who gave thee a body, furnished it with weakness but He who gave thee Soul, armed thee with resolution. Employ it, and thou art wise be wise and thou art happy. – Akhenaton
