You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.
C. S. Lewis
The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Lucille Ball
I don’t pay attention to the number of birthdays. It’s weird when I say I’m 53. It just is crazy that I’m 53. I think I’m very immature. I feel like a kid. That’s why my back goes out all the time, because I completely forget I can’t do certain things anymore – like doing the plank for 10 minutes.
Ellen DeGeneres
Celebrate your birthday with gratitude, joy, and the excitement of all the wonderful possibilities that lie ahead.
George Meredith
My happiest memory of childhood was my first birthday in reform school. This teacher took an interest in me. In fact, he gave me the first birthday presents I ever got: a box of Cracker Jacks and a can of ABC shoe polish.

Abraham Lincoln
Everyone who reaches a milestone birthday in their lives has an opportunity to truly appreciate the fact that presumably we have acquired all the gifts that maturity and age can bring us
Judith Durham
My second play, The Birthday Party, I wrote in 1958 – or 1957. It was totally destroyed by the critics of the day, who called it an absolute load of rubbish.

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