Birthday Quotes
Birthday quotes here lean towards reflection rather than celebration. The page is built from the pages on age, time, friendship and happiness, and Shakespeare has the most entries, then Byron, Edward Young and Longfellow.
That is useful if you want something thoughtful for a milestone birthday and less so for a card with balloons on it. The funny ones are on the Funny page. A warning on the friendship quotes: “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer” is not from Sun Tzu, and “Time flies like an arrow” was not said by Groucho Marx. Both are flagged here.
Most quoted on birthday:
Time's glory is to calm contending kings,
To unmask falsehood, and bring truth to light.
Tolerant people are the happiest, so why not get rid of prejudices that hold you back?
A portion of life, every moment gets torn out of me hurting, and flees away.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.
Being with you and not being with you is the only way I have to measure time.
