A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. 

                                                                                                 Author Unknown

I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the year's. 

                                                                                   Henry Moore

New Year's Day is every man's birthday.

                                                                                  Charles Lamb

He who breaks a resolution is a weakling;
He who makes one is a fool.

Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.

                                                                                Hal Borland

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

What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

 Who begins too much accomplishes little.

                                                                                   German Proverb

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

                                                                                     Plato
