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.'

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

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

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

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.

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

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

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.

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

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