Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
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.
Many people look forward to the New Year for a new start on old habits.
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions!
Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.
I'm a little bit older, a little bit wiser, a little bit rounder, but still none the wiser.
A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one Year and out the other.
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
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.
