 New Year’s Toasts

"May all your troubles during the coming year be as short as your New Year's resolutions."


"May the hinges of friendship never rust, nor the wings of love lose a feather."


"Here's a toast to the future A toast to the past, And a toast to our friends, far and near. 

May the future be pleasant, the past a bright dream. May our friends remain faithful and dear.

 

"Here's champagne to our real friends, And real pain to our sham friends."


"In the New Year, may your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, but never in want." --Traditional Irish toast


"Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we diet."


"Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter, Sermons and soda-water the day after." --Lord Byron


Another year is dawning! Let it be 
For better or for worse, another year with thee.


Here's to the bright New Year 
And a fond farewell to the old; 
Here's to the things that are yet to come 
And to the memories that we hold.


In the year ahead, 
May we treat our friends with kindness 
and our enemies with generosity.


“Always remember to forget

The troubles that pass away.


The blessings that come each day
