Add some humour to your life with funny quotes that will cheer you up. Here are some good end-of-year quotes that will make you laugh.

  • New Year's is a harmless annual institution of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, friendly calls, and humbug resolutions.
  • What's your plan for the 31st night? Mine is to check all bookmarks I added to my browser in 2023.
  • I was going to resolve never to be late again this New Year, but I didn't wake up until January 2nd.
  • Stop trying to press rewind. It’s life, not a movie.
  • New Year is a time to start afresh, all over again, but you realize things are too complicated and can't begin to. Happy New Year!
  • New Year's day is the accepted time to make regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.
  • The funniest part of a New Year is making new resolutions. I think you have one too. Let me know your answer, and I'll try not to laugh as I did the last year.
  • If you have been on this earth for more than a few years, chances are high that you will need to live longer to complete all those resolutions.
  • If it makes you feel better, keep telling yourself: this year, I will. It's like yelling fire in a crowded theatre. You'll get out before it becomes dangerous.

  • Say your thanks before 2022 ends because when 2023 rolls around, all we'll hear from people is I told myself I would do that.
  • I hope growing up is not included in your resolution this year. Let's live like the old ones, and we can grow up in some other years. Happy New Year 2022, partner!
  • My New Year's resolution is to stop hanging out with people who ask me about my recent year's resolutions.
