Mark Twain
New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as ascapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions.

Ann Landers
Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger. Don't be afraid to say, 'I love you'. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world.

Maria Edgeworth
There is no moment like the present. The man who will not execute his resolutions when they are fresh upon him can have no hope from them afterwards: they will be dissipated, lost,and perish in the hurry and scurry of the world, or sunk in the slough of indolence.

Kersti Bergroth
It is difficult not to believe that the next year will be better than the old one!And this illusion is not wrong. Future is always good, no matter what happens.It will always give us what we need and what we want in secret. It will always bless us with right gifts. Thus in a deeper sense our belief in the New Year cannot deceive us.

Albert Einstein
I feel that you are justified in looking into the future with true assurance, because you have a mode of living in which we find the joy of life and the joy of work harmoniously combined. Added to this is the spirit of ambition which pervades your very being, and seems to make the day's work like a happy child at play.

Martin Luther
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.
