What is there more kindly than the feeling between host and guest?

Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, 'It will be happier.'

Ring out the false, ring in the true.

First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.

Each age has deemed the new born year the fittest time for festal cheer.

Come, gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.
