There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why.
If possible, forget the past. Look forward to the future.
A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.
The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts.
There is still no cure for the common birthday.
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
Every year on your birthday, you get a chance to start new.
I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing 'Happy Birthday. '
Live not one's life as though one had a thousand years, but live each day as the last.
Have the will to be well, to be happy, and to live in joy.
Learn to be calm and you will always be happy.
The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece, but not too much.
Twenty-five, he was. Twenty-five tomorrow. Some years the snow had melted for his birthday, but not this year, and so it had been a long winter full of cows.
If anyone is unhappy, remember that his unhappiness is his own fault. . . Nothing else is the cause of anxiety or loss of tranquility except our own opinion.
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. '
If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten.
Happiness is a choice. You grieve, you stomp your feet, you pick yourself up and choose to be happy.
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
