Waiting for the Other Ball to Drop

"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." ~Mark Twain

"New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time." ~James Agate

"Making resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle."
~Eric Zorn

"Happiness is too many things these days for anyone to wish it on anyone lightly. So let's just wish each other a bile-less New Year and leave it at that." ~Judith Crist

"Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account." ~Oscar Wilde

"From New Year's on the outlook brightens; good humor lost in a mood of failure returns. I resolve to stop complaining." ~Leonard Bernstein

"Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right." ~Oprah Winfrey
