It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets.
-
He who breaks a resolution is a weakling;
He who makes one is a fool.
-
We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room,
drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched.
Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through
the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for
potential.
-
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's
resolutions.
-
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.
-
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the year's.
-
Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a
thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning
of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is
only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.
-
I made no resolutions for the New Year. The habit of making
plans, of criticizing, sanctioning and molding my life, is too
much of a daily event for me.
-
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.
-
Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.
-
The only way to spend New Year's Eve is either quietly with
friends or in a brothel. Otherwise when the evening ends and
people pair off, someone is bound to be left in tears.
-
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's
Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
-
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A
pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
-
Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on
old habits.
-
A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year
and out the other.
-
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your
neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.
-
No one ever regarded the First of January with indifference.
It is that from which all date their time, and count upon what
is left. It is the nativity of our common Adam.
-
New Year's Day is every man's birthday.
-
The merry year is born
Like the bright berry from the naked thorn.
-
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on,
with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
-
Never tell your resolution beforehand, or it's twice as
onerous a duty.
-
New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause
in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence
among created things that the passage of another twelve months
may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this
evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.
-
The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead.
The New Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All
hail the duties and possibilities of the coming twelve months!
-
Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it
right.
-
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
