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

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

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

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.

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

The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.

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

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.

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.
