“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 Lord Tennyson
“New Year's Day - Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.”
Mark Twain
“In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out infriendship, never in want.”
Old Irish toast
“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.”
Benjamin Franklin
“What can be said in New Year rhymes,That's not been said a thousand times?The new years come, the old years go,We know we dream, we dream we know.We rise up laughing with the light,We lie down weeping with the night.We hug the world until it stings,We curse it then and sigh for wings.We live, we love, we woo, we wed,We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead.We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,And that's the burden of a year.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions”
Joey Adams
“For the new year you have to be realistic.”
Michael Larson
