Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
"We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day."
Many people look forward to the New Year for a new start on old habits.
New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.
He who breaks a resolution is a weakling;
He who makes one is a fool.
New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions.
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.
Extremely Happy New Year 2019! May we all lose our belly fat and unsightly pimples, get gorgeous hair and hefty pay-raises and may the wrath of the Almighty fall upon anyone who looks prettier than us in group photographs.
Let us not drink to the past, but to the future.
