I'm not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart, like a drawing that a child does.

I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.

It is lovely, when I forget all birthdays, including my own, to find that somebody remembers me.

When someone asks if you'd like cake or pie, why not say you want cake and pie?

A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.

If you can give your child only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.

For my birthday I got a humidifier and a de-humidifier... I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.

Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same.

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.

Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.
