Your children need your presence more than your presents.

All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.

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

Thirty was so strange for me. I've really had to come to terms with the fact that I am now a walking and talking adult.

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

The way I see it, you should live everyday like its your birthday.

A gift consists not in what is done or given, but in the intention of the giver or doer.

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.

Like many women my age, I am 28 years old.
