“The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead. The New Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All hail the duties and possibilities of the coming twelve months!”

“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 one event's time, we do have something for everyone. It's a nice way to ring in the New Year.”
Ann Frescura
“I really wanted a positive message to kick off the new year, ... Kids have heard 'No drugs, no alcohol' since they were in first grade.”
Brian McDonough
“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.”
Benjamin Franklin
“In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out infriendship, never in want.”
Old Irish toast
“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
