Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time. ~Jean Paul Richter
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age. ~Robert Frost
Henry James once defined life as that predicament which precedes death, and certainly nobody owes you a debt of honor or gratitude for getting him into that predicament. But a child does owe his father a debt, if Dad, having gotten him into this peck of trouble, takes off his coat and buckles down to the job of showing his son how best to crash through it. ~Clarence Budington Kelland
There is still no cure for the common birthday. ~John Glenn
Never raise your hand to your kids. It leaves your groin unprotected. ~Red Buttons
