A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
~Edgar Guest |

We meet today
To thank Thee for the era done,
And Thee for the opening one.

New Year's Eve, where auld acquaintance
be forgot. Unless, of course, those
tests come back positive. ~Jay Leno |

I do think New Year's resolutions can't
technically be expected to begin on New
Year's Day, don't you? Since, because
it's an extension of New Year's Eve,
smokers are already on a smoking roll
and cannot be expected to stop abruptly
on the stroke of midnight with so much
nicotine in the system. Also 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.

Fielding, Bridget Jones's Diary |

But can one still make resolutions when
one is over forty? I live according to
twenty-year-old habits. ~Andre Gide |

A new oath holds pretty well; but...
when it is become old, and frayed out,
and damaged by a dozen annual retryings
of its remains, it ceases to be
serviceable; any little strain will snap
it. ~Mark Twain, speech in New York
City, 31 March 1885 |

Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.

Good resolutions are simply checks that
men draw on a bank where they have no

Each age has deemed the new-born year
The fittest time for festal cheer.

And ye, who have met with Adversity's
blast,
And been bow'd to the earth by its fury;
To whom the Twelve Months, that have
recently pass'd
Were as harsh as a prejudiced jury -
Still, fill to the Future! and join in
our chime,
The regrets of remembrance to cozen,
And having obtained a New Trial of Time,
Shout in hopes of a kindlier dozen.
~Thomas Hood |
