1 New Year Quotes 2 |
The new year begins in a snow-storm of white
vows.
George William Curtis
Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank
where they have no account.
Oscar Wilde
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.
Martin Luther
I'm a little bit older, a little bit wiser, a little bit rounder,
but still none the wiser.
Robert Paul
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
Happiness is too many things these days for anyone to wish it
on anyone lightly. So let's just wish each other a bile-less
New Year and leave it at that.
Judith Crist
But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I
live according to twenty-year-old habits.
Andre Gide
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.
Helen Fielding
Bridget Jones's Diary.
New Year's Eve, where auld acquaintance be forgot. Unless,
of course, those tests come back positive.
Jay Leno
We meet today
To thank Thee for the era done,
And Thee for the opening one.
John Greenleaf Whittier
From New Year's on the outlook brightens; good humor lost in
a mood of failure returns. I resolve to stop complaining.
Leonard Bernstein
One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this:
To rise above the little things.
John Burroughs
Of all sound of all bells... most solemn and touching is
the peal which rings out the Old Year.
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
It wouldn't be New Year's if I didn't have regrets.
William Thomas
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
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
It Depends on Us... Another year lies before us like an unwritten
page, an unspent coin, an unwalked road. How the pages will
read, what treasures will be gained in exchange for time,
or what we find alone the way, will largely depend on us.
Esther Baldwin York
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
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the year's.
Henry Moore
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
Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.
Jean Paul Richter
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
People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas
and the New Year, but they really should be worried about
what they eat between the New Year and Christmas.
Author Unknown
New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided
this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.
James Agate
Let our New Year's resolution be this: we will be there for
one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense
of the word.
Goran Persson
If you asked me for my New Year Resolution, it would be to
find out who I am.
Cyril Cusack
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.
W.H. Auden |
