Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
For last year's words belong to last year's language And next year's words await another voice.
Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.
the object of a new year is not that we should have a new year, but rather that we should have a new soul.
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.
New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to find out who I am.
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.
Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self-assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle.
Maybe this year, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives not looking for flaws, but looking for potential.
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.
The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you're married to.
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
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.
Never tell your resolution beforehand, or it's twice as onerous a duty.
But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year-old habits.
He who breaks a resolution is a weakling; He who makes one is a fool.
