I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing 'Happy Birthday.'

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.

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

You know you're getting old when you get that one candle on the cake. It's like, 'See if you can blow this out.'

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

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.

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

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.

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