New Year’s Day is every man’s birthday. Charles Lamb
New Year’s Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time. James Agate
Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to. Bill Vaughan
The New Year is the season in which custom seems more particularly to authorise civil and harmless lies, under the name of compliments. People reciprocally profess wishes which they seldom form and concern which they seldom feel. Lord Chesterfield
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
Why wont they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, cant they use birth control on time? John Dos Passos
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Alfred Tennyson
