New Year Thoughts

Quote from GK Chesterton that bears reflecting in the new year.

"The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective. Unless a man starts on the strange assumption that he has never existed before, it is quite certain that he will never exist afterwards. Unless a man be born again, he shall by no means enter into the Kingdom of Heaven."

Never really had the chance to read any of Chesterton's books but will include it in my reading list. There is a particular good introductory website http://www.chesterton.org/ that bears checking out. Will try to pick up the following book recommended by the website G.K. Chesterton - The Apostle of Common Sense
