Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.
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.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Maybe this year, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives not looking for flaws, but looking for potential.
Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.
We spend January 1st 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.
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.
Hope Smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'.
New Year's Day is every man's birthday.
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.
Of all sound of all bells... most solemn and touching is the peal which rings out the Old Year.
No one ever regarded the first of January with indifference.
This bright new year is given me To live each day with zest To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best!
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever.
Another fresh new year is here . . . Another year to live! To banish worry, doubt, and fear, To love and laugh and give! This bright new year is given me To live each day with zest . . . To daily grow and try to be My highest and my best! I have the opportunity Once more to right some wrongs, To pray for peace, to plant a tree, And sing more joyful songs!
Dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second.
Every time you tear a leaf off a calendar, you present a new place for new ideas and progress.
