You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.

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

Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.

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.

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

Handmade presents are scary because they reveal that you have too much free time.

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

Your children need your presence more than your presents.

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

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