Bill Vaughn once states ‘Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to” and “An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves”, an unknown author quotes some harsh truths about New Year in the line “Many people look forward to the new year for a new start on old habits.”
As on this day a New Year is born, Charles Lamb quotes “New Year's Day is every man's birthday” and John Seldon says “Never tell your resolution beforehand, or it's twice as onerous a duty”. Other such popular New Year quotes include:
“Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us”

“Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.”
Quoted by Oprah Winfrey
“Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.”
Quoted by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850

“Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.”
Quoted by Henry Ward Beecher
