From New Year's on the outlook brightens; good humor lost in a mood of failure returns. I resolve to stop complaining.
And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been
The secret of getting ahead is getting started
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions.
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Hope Smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering 'it will be happier'.
Maybe this year, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives not looking for flaws, but looking for potential.

Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
the object of a new year is not that we should have a new year, but rather that we should have a new soul.
The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.
Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live.
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.
