God gave us the gift of life it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.

I wanted to buy a candle holder, but the store didn't have one. So I got a cake.

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

We'll take the cake with the red cherry on top.

To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

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

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.

Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.

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.
