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!
~Edward Payson Powell
The proper behavior all through the
holiday season is to be drunk.
This drunkenness culminates on New Year’s Eve,
when you get so drunk you kiss the
person you’re married to.
~P.J. O’Rourke
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
Drop the last year into the
silent limbo of the past.
Let it go, for it was imperfect,
and thank God that it can go.
~Brooks Atkinson
Each age has deemed the new-born year
The fittest time for festal cheer.
~Walter Scott
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
But can one still make resolutions
when one is over forty?
I live according to twenty-year-old habits.
~Andre Gide
New Year’s Eve Sayings by ~E. Marshall, Vintner Epilogue (Happy Old Year)
When then is lost, as time is by,
we look upon the yearly wine
to see our substance in the lees.
Did tribe and purse most pleasing leave?
To look for clear and faithful sense,
that gives a bodied stance bouquet,
then see the vat at mirror’s face
and find in it, the yearly pace.
~E. Marshall, Vintner Epilogue (Happy Old Year)
Many years ago I resolved never to bother with New Year’s resolutions, and
I’ve stuck with it ever since.
~Dave Beard
