Birthday Greetings - Page 28

Looking fifty is great--if you''re sixty.

A fool at forty is a fool indeed.

Be wise with speed;

The first forty years of life give us the text: the next thirty supply the commentary.

Latin: Hoc vinum Falernum annorum quadragenta est. Bene aetatem fert.

This wine is forty years old. It certainly doesn''t show its age.

after the age of 40 is simply a loss of energy.

What most persons consider as virtue,

free choice remained thirty-five for years.

London society is full of women who have of their own

together and your body starts falling apart.

Thirty-five is when you finally get your head

but time always stands still for a woman of thirty.

Time and Tide wait for no man,

Live as long as you may. The first twenty years are the longest half of your life.

At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30 the wit; and at 40 the judgment.

but old people are no good at everything.

Call this an unfair generalization if you must,

for a crime you have not committed.

Growing old is like being increasingly penalized

The middle day of human life.

A thoughtful day from dawn to close:

With much of hope, with meaning rife—

A birthday:—and now a day that rose

Less and less white its mark appears.

And how each time the day comes round,

That word had in my youthful ears;

My birthday!--what a different sound

Let us respect gray hairs, especially our own.

I''d have taken better care of myself.

If I''d known I was going to live this long (100 years),

birthday but never remembers her age.

A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman''s

I''m at an age when my back goes out more than I do.

When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.

Getting old ain''t for sissies..

wondering what the hell happened.

Inside every older person is a younger person -

The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made.

Grow old along with me!

The best birthdays of all are those that haven''t arrived yet.

No wise man ever wished to be younger.

There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents ... and only one for birthday presents, you know.

Men are like wine: some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.

My mother groaned, my father wept, into the dangerous world I leapt; helpless, naked, piping loud, like a fiend hid in a cloud.

Old age isn''t so bad when you consider the alternatives.

Old age is always 15 years older than I am.

With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.

Age is a number and mine is unlisted.

A man ninety years old was asked to what he attributed his longevity. I reckon, he said, with a twinkle in his eye, it''s because most nights I went to bed and slept when I should have sat up and worried.
