How dull! How 2025! Here are some other New Year wishes, quotes, toasts and Instagram captions to weave into your repertoire this year to keep your celebrations a little more interesting and, perhaps, a little more personal.

New Year quotes
“Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one.”
– Brad Paisley
“It's suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the New Year, to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps – our promises made, and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures – or closed ourselves down, for fear of getting hurt. Because that's what New Year's is all about: getting another chance. A chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And stop worrying about 'what if' and start embracing what would be. So when that ball drops at midnight – and it will drop – let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other. And not just tonight but all year long.”
— Remember, 2015
“It only happens once a year: New Year's Eve. It's a time when hopeless can be romantic, and a resolution can become a revelation. And when one night can change everything.”
— One Night Changes Everything, Lauren Barnholdt, 2010
“And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
— When Harry Met Sally, 1989
“Some people swear there's no beauty left in the world, no magic. Then, how do you explain the entire world coming together on one night to celebrate the hope of a new year?”
— New Year's Eve, 2011
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
— George Eliot
"Too much of anything is bad, but too much Champagne is just right."
— F. Scott Fitzgerald
