either quietly with friends or in a
brothel. Otherwise when the evening ends
and people paid off, someone is bound to
be left in tears.

means you've met your New Year's
resolution.

what they eat between the New Year and
Christmas.

person you're married to.

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.
Charles Lamb

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

Ring out the old, ring in the new,

Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Every man should be born again on the
first day of January. Start with a
fresh page. Take up one hole more in
the buckle if necessary, or let down
one, according to circumstances; but on
the first of January let every man gird
himself once more, with his face to the
front, and take no interest in the
things that were and are past. ~Henry
Ward Beecher

Critic, 1888-1965)

“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”
jose Hamilton Wright Mabie quotes

chance for us to get it right.”

New Year's Eve of time. ~Jean Paul
Richter

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. ~Mark Twain

Why won't they let a year die without
bringing in a new one on the instant,
can't they use birth control on time? I
want an interregnum. The stupid years
patter on with unrelenting feet, never
stopping - rising to little monotonous
peaks in our imaginations at festivals
like New Year's and Easter and Christmas
- But, goodness, why need they do it?
~John Dos Passos, 1917

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. ~Anaïs Nin

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. ~Thomas Mann

I think in terms of the day's
resolutions, not the year's. ~Henry
Moore

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. ~G.K. Chesterton

He who breaks a resolution is a
weakling;
He who makes one is a fool.
~F.M. Knowles

May all your troubles last as long as
your New Year's resolutions. ~Joey
Adams

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. ~Ellen
Goodman
