Funny New Year Quotes
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to. Bill Vaughn
A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. Unknown
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

New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time. James Agate

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. Bridget Jones's Diary
New Year's Eve, where auld acquaintance be forgot. Unless, of course, those tests come back positive. Jay Leno
Now there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people. So overweight people are now average… which means, you have met your New Year's resolution. Jay Leno
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions. Joey Adams
Inspirational New Year Quotes

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day. Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past. Henry Ward Beecher
