But can one still make resolutions when
one is over forty? I live according to
twenty-year-old habits. ~Andre Gide
|
A new oath holds pretty well; but...
when it is become old, and frayed out,
and damaged by a dozen annual retryings
of its remains, it ceases to be
serviceable; any little strain will snap
it. ~Mark Twain, speech in New York
City, 31 March 1885

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
|
Good resolutions are simply checks that
men draw on a bank where they have no
account. ~Oscar Wilde
|
Each age has deemed the new-born year
The fittest time for festal cheer.~Walter Scott
|
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
|
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.~Thoma

People are so worried about what they
eat between Christmas and the New Year,
but they really should be worried about
what they eat between the New Year and
Christmas. ~Author Unknown
|
Yesterday, everybody smoked his last
cigar, took his last drink and swore his
last oath. Today, we are a pious and
exemplary community. Thirty days from
now, we shall have cast our reformation
to the winds and gone to cutting our
ancient shortcomings considerably
shorter than ever. ~Mark Twain
