New Year Quotes – Funny and Inspirational New Year's Resolutions Quotes and Sayings. (Jean Scheijen Photo)
The new year is a time for new beginnings, change and hope. And many partake in New Year’s goal setting – resolutions to lose weight, exercise more frequently, quit smoking, stop procrastinating, stop drinking and resolutions to spend more time with family and/or friends.
New Year’s resolutions are often over-ambitious. This means that goals for the new year are notoriously difficult to accomplish and often abandoned. These qualities make New Year’s resolutions a frequent topic of discussion during the holiday season – and this means plenty of quotes about New Year’s resolutions, both cynical and encouraging.
So today’s quotes of the day are both humorous and a bit inspiring quotations – they’re New Year quotes about resolutions and goals.
“New Year’s Day – Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.” ~Mark Twain
“Never tell your resolution beforehand, or it’s twice as onerous a duty.” ~John Selden
“Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.” ~Oscar Wilde
“A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.” ~Unknown
“I do think New Year’s resolutions can’t technically be expected to begin on New Year’s Day, don’t you? Since, because it’s an extension of New Year’s Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year’s Day isn’t a good idea as you can’t eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary — moment by moment — in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began on January the second.” ~Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones’ Diary
