Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time. The only way to spend New Year's Eve is either quietly with friends or in a brothel. Otherwise when the evening ends and people pair off,
someone is bound to be left in tears.
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits. A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.
No one ever regarded the First of January with indifference. It is that from which all date their time, and count upon what is left. It is the
nativity of our common Adam.
New Year's Day is every man's birthday. The merry year is bornLike the bright berry from the naked thorn.
