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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.
