A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her age.
John Glenn
There is still no cure for the common birthday.
That ability to laugh at ourselves is a blessing indeed. Traditionally in our society, men "mature," while women "get old." But laughing about our age not only brings us joy and a shared sense of community with other women. It also gives us power. It tells the world, "Think what you will of me and my age. But I know who I am and I am just fine."
As the wonderful actress Ethel Barrymore once said:
You grow up the day you have your first real laugh
—at yourself.
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have because the older she gets the more interested he becomes.
Agatha Christie
If things get better with age, then you're approaching magnificent.
Nicole Beale
You've logged so many miles in the voyage of life that you've been upgraded to First Class!
Evelyn Loeb
After 40 a woman has to choose between losing her figure or her face. My advice is to keep your face and stay sitting down.
Dame Barbara Cartland
With the grace of God and a good lighting director, I plan to stick around for a good long time.
Barbara Walters
There are only three ages for women in Hollywood: Babe, District Attorney and Driving Miss Daisy.
Goldie Hawn
Nature gives you the face you have at twenty, but it's up to you to merit the face you have at 50.
Coco Chanel
'Isn't it fun getting older' is really a terrible fallacy. That's like saying I prefer driving an old car with a flat tire.
Katharine Hepburn
Nobody's "old" anymore—they've just been around for a long time.
Abigail Van Buren
The hardest years in life are those between 10 and 70.
Helen Hayes, at 83
Discussing how old you are is the temple of boredom.
Ruth Gordon
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns how to be amused rather than shocked.
Pearl S. Buck
Authorities say brain cells may shrink, but they don't necessarily die. Frankly, I am cheered by the fact that something is shrinking. I'd be even more thrilled if what was shrinking affected my dress size, but you can't have everything.
Erma Bombeck
I feel like a million tonight—but one at a time.
Mae West
From birth to age 18, a girl needs good parents. From 18 to 35, she needs good looks. From 35 to 55, she needs a good personality. From 55 on, she needs good cash.
Sophie Tucker
Age is not important unless you're a cheese.
Helen Hayes
After thirty, a body has a mind of its own.
Bette Midler
No one grows old by living—only by losing interest in living.
Marie Ray
I believe in hard work. It keeps the wrinkles out of the mind and the spirit. It helps to keep a woman young. It certainly keeps women alive.
Helena Rubinstein
I believe in loyalty. When a woman reaches an age she likes, she should stick with it.
Eva Gabor
When you're 20 and pretty, then you're rather like Switzerland—beautiful but dull.
Faye Dunaway
Happiness is good health and a bad memory.
Ingrid Bergman
The lovely thing about being 40 is that you can appreciate 25 year old men.
Colleen McCullough
I think all this talk about age is foolish. Every time I'm one year older, everyone else is too.
Gloria Swanson
I think on-stage nudity is disgusting, shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive religious experience.
Shelley Winters
You can't turn back the clock. But you can wind it up again.
Bonnie Prudden
We are always the same age inside.
Gertrude Stein
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night.
But, ah, my foes, and, oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Can't Remember
I wish you something, just can't remember,
Don't be upset, you're my family member.
It was clearly, on my mind,
With so many thoughts, it's hard to find.
Maybe it's simply not that essential,
Please lose that frown, you have so much potential.
On second thought, it might be coming back to me,
Now I know, why those brain pills were free.
Visions appear of colorful balloons,
In the background, I hear those fine tunes.
Near the end of the dream, I can taste a delicious cake,
It must be your birthday, as I awake.
Aku berharap sesuatu untukmu, hanya tak bias mengingat,
Jangan mengganggu, kamu adalah anggota keluargaku.
Itu dengan jelas, dalam pikiran ku ,
Dengan sangat banyak pemikiran, adalah susah untuk mnemukan.
Barangkali adalah sederhananya bukan yang penting itu,
Tolong hilang[an kerut dahi itu, kamu mempunyai banyak potensi.
Pada [atas] pemikiran kembali, itu bisa sedang teringat kembali aku,
Sekarang aku mengetahui, mengapa pil otak itu bebas.
Visi nampak balon berwarna-warni/bersemangat,
Di (dalam) latar belakang, aku dengar lagu bagus itu.
Dekat akhir dari mimpi, aku dapat mencicipi suatu kue lezat,
[Itu] harus harilahir mu, [seperti/ketika] aku terjagaBy Martin Dejnicki
Birthday Appreciation
Each year your birthday reminds me

Setiap hari aku berpikir tentangmu.
Aku berharap kamu menikmati ulangtahunmu,
Semua kesenangan ada di dalam sebuah toko,

Aku berharap kamu mendapatkan banyak lagi yang lain!

Birthday Blessings
Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings now,
As your birthday nears.
Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched your life
Just by being there.
Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.
Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"
Daripada menghitung lilin,
Atau menghitung tahun umurmu,
Renungkan berkat mu sekarang,
Ketika hari ulang tahunmu mendekat.
Pertimbangkan orang-orang khusus
Yang mencintai kamu, dan yang mempedulikanmu,
Dan yang telah memperkaya hidupmu
Hadirlah di sana,
Ingatlah kenangan tentang mereka
Tahun yang telah lalu tak akan pernah merusak,
Pengalaman kecil dan besar.
Yang telah menciptakan siapa dirimu.
Tahun berikutnya adalah hadiah bahagia,
Jadi, potonglah kuemu dan katakanlah
" Sebagai ganti menghitung hari lahir,
Aku akan menghitung berkat tiap hari!"
By Joanna Fuchs
Happy Birthday, Special Treasure
God gave a gift to the world when you were born—
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person’s need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than herself,
someone who touches each life she enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
because you are a special treasure
for all that you’ve done.
May the love you have shown to others
return to you, multiplied.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you
as much as I do.
By Joanna Fuchs
Happy Birthday Poem
Once a year I get the chance
To wish you birthday cheer.
It pleases me no end to say,
I wish you another great year.
So happy birthday to you (name),
From the bottom of my heart.
And may your good times multiply,
Till they’re flying off the chart!
By Karl Fuchs
Bright Joy
On your birthday,
I’m thinking about how much light and sparkle
you freely dispense wherever you go,
how your sunny smile lights up any gathering.
Every birthday marks another year
of you radiating positive, happy energy,
contagious happiness
that infects all who come in contact with you.
May your next birthday find you the same--
glowing from within,
beaming bright joy on everyone you meet.
I feel blessed to know you.
By Joanna Fuchs
Birthday Wish
It’s your birthday time again;
It’s true; there’s no denying,
Another year has come and gone;
You know that I’m not lying.
So for you, the birthday person,
Here’s what I want to say:
I hope this birthday’s the best one yet,
In every delightful way.
So happy birthday to you.
Have lots of birthday fun!
May your birthday wishes all come true,
Even if you have a ton.
By Karl Fuchs
You Are A Gift
Some people give the gift
of peace and tranquility
to every life they touch.
They are always who they really are.
They are blessedly reliable,
dependably good,
predictably pleasant,
loved and treasured
by all who know them.
You are one of those people.
You are a gift
of peace and tranquility
in my life.
Happy Birthday!
By Joanna Fuchs
Birthday Reflections
Your birthday's a time for careful reflection
About your life, and its future direction.
You see where you've been when you look at the past;
Most of it's great; you had quite a blast!
You wonder what's coming, what life has in store;
Will it be just the same? Will there be a new door?
Remember this, as you blow out the last candle:
Life holds no challenge that you cannot handle.
By Joanna Fuchs
Every Year On Your Birthday
Every year, on your birthday,
I think about how glad I am
that you were born,
how thankful I am
to have you in my life.
Every year is another year
filled with the special joys you bring
just by being yourself.
Every year, when you open your birthday gifts,
realize what a gift you are
to everyone who knows you,
especially me.
Happy Birthday!
By Joanna Fuchs

whatever you want most in life,

or better.

because you brighten my life
and fill it with joy.

Birthday Happiness
As we observe your birthday now,
Your cake and gifts don't matter much.
These common things aren't really you,
Ribbons, paper hats and such.
We celebrate a person who
Brings happiness to everyone,
Someone who gives more than she gets,
And fills our lives with joy and fun.
So Happy Birthday, and many more!
We hope you make it to a hundred and two,
Because we always want to have
The special pleasure of knowing you.

Baby's First Birthday
It's your very first birthday, baby,
One candle on your cake;
Proud parents stare in wonder
At each new move you make.
We join in celebration,
As this special date arrives,
For baby has brought pleasure
Into all our lives.
We look forward now to seeing
How you progress and grow,
From the cute and tiny infant
You were one year ago.
So dig into your icing;
Enjoy your presents, too.
The reason for this day
Is a special person--you!

50th Birthday Poem
The Big Five-Oh
So you are finally fifty;
Happy birthday on the big Five-Oh.
I guess you could fill a great big book
With everything you know.
A whole half century of living
Is nothing to sneeze about,
So if you're a little patched and worn,
Don't you dare frown or pout.
Ignore things that make you feel old;
It's really great to be fifty.
You're smart, attractive and good company,
And I still think you're nifty!
By Joanna Fuchs
When Your Birthday Rolls Around
Because you mean so much to me,
I celebrate your birth.
Sharing time and space with you,
Rings my bell for all it’s worth.
Whenever your birthday rolls around,
I contemplate once more,
How happy I am that you were born;
The thought makes my heart soar.
I wish your birthdays happened more,
So I could let you know,
How very much you mean to me,
And so I could tell you so!
Happy Celebration
Birthdays are happy events,
Times when dreams come true.
So dream a good dream (and let someone know!),
It just might work for you!
Have a happy celebration
One you’ll always recall,
And be aware on this day of days,
You’re the most special person of all!
By Karl Fuchs
Birthday Thanks
Another year has come and gone;
The sands of time keep trickling away.
Your birthday reminds me to let you know
I'm thankful for you each and every day.

Happy Birthday, Old Friend
Congratulations to you, my old friend,
Birthday wishes to you, I send.
You look good for your age, I could say,
But you look good to me any day.
When I look in the mirror, I sigh,
'Cause I know the mirror doesn't lie.
You're aging like me, so you see
You're getting to be an old guy.

Best Birthday
It’s your birthday...
and I’m thinking how glad I am
that you were born.
You have given me so much--
supported me, encouraged me,
cared for me; I didn't even need to ask.
I celebrate your wonderful self!
I am in awe of your boundless generosity,
your infinite kindness--that gentle inner glow
that you so freely use to warm my life.
Your birthday is as much a celebration for me
as it is for you, maybe more,
and I wish for you the best of birthdays,
the best one ever.
May each birthday be better than the last.
Most of all, I hope you will always be
As happy as you have made me.
By Joanna Fuchs
Your Zoo
A birthday should always be a joyous occasion,
Family and friends; obvious invasion.
Duplicate gifts, you don’t even like,
If you complain, might get a strike.
One simple day, placed on display,
Carefully observed, for signs of decay.
Dishonest smiles, they don’t mingle in truth,
As if you were the only, losing your youth.
At such a wise age, everything seems so clear,
Excuse to celebrate, they all came for beer.
Deep down inside, you know that they care,
Your Zoo is unique, normal is rare.
Life’s Journey
It only happens once each year,
Book the train and pack your gear.
Your destination seems unknown,
As you sit there, all alone.
Something internal, in a rush,
Just like the toilet, we usually flush.
Constantly staring at the clock,
Are you waiting for your flock?
Savour the moment, don’t wait for the end,
Nobody knows, if you may extend.
Journey divided into equal parts,
Today is another, we’ll add to the charts.
Your train has left, from the town of birth,
Hopefully located, on planet earth.
The next stop, might seem the same,
It shall reveal, what you became.
Summer
Comes around just once each year,
Creates a stunning atmosphere.
A heated party, beginning till end,
The place to be is Disneyland.
Enjoyment and smiles, plentiful and ripe,
Abundant activities, deserving the hype.
Waters edges, they all seem to swarm,
Sandy days, with Sunny and Warm.
Summers birthday, they all wish to join,
She barbeques delicious sirloin.
Do not upset her, she’ll send in the rain,
Random weather cannot explain.
Ageless wonder, since birth we have known,
Temperature rising, statistics have shown.
Share your birthday with Summer our dear,
Through thoughtful actions protect our blue sphere.
Age and Laughter
Happy birthday, you’re not getting old,
Stay in the game, it’s not time to fold.
Wrinkles and grey hair, are just a new look,
Countless experiences, you should write in a book.
A birthday is seldom, a serious occasion,
Try not to take it, like the d-day invasion.
Laughter and jokes are within sight,
Stock up on both, all through the night.
Young at Heart
Happy birthday young at heart,
So many decades, where to start?
With energy, like that pink bunny,
You make us look lazy, that’s not funny!
Never-ending old school ways,
Filled with stories, to Amaze!
Listening has been lost with age,
You belong on theatre stage.
If you manage to forget,
We’ll remind you, don’t you fret.
Happy birthday young at heart,
Smile with joy, you old fart.
Elephant Frown
Today is your birthday, don’t pull your hair,
Look in the mirror, nature was fair.
Not a day over twenty,
I’m kidding! you’re plenty.
Don’t mean to burst your bubble,
But stop asking for trouble.
You know what I mean,
When you drink that caffeine.
What should I bring?
Just give me a ring.
Elephant or Clown?
I knew you would frown.
Kangaroo Birthday Fight
Birthday dream last night,
Kangaroo was in my sight,
Charged with all his might,
Unavoidable boxing fight.
Surprised me with his flight,
Reached, enormous height,
Smiled and revealed his bite,
This created all my fright.
Weakened muscles were too tight,
My chances were truly slight,
Internal resistance to incite,
Grasped, conclusion of polite.
Suddenly, to my true delight,
Victory! A birthday gift was in my sight,
Kangaroo began his flight,
To the rescue came the night.
Birthday Antique
You are antique,
We need to tweak,
Start with physique,
Let’s make you a geek,
Or just join a clique,
And become sleek,
What do you seek?
A birthday creek,
With sublime mystique,
Surely unique,
I shouldn’t speak,
Quite often critique,
Courageous or meek,
Today is your peak,
Enjoy the week,
And stick out your cheek!
If you’re looking for something that is short, but still generates laughter, than read this funny birthday poem. It’s only 4 lines in length. But it’s also one of my most popular.
Do you have friends that live off sarcasm or have edgy sense of humours? If you do I bet they will enjoy funny birthday poems like, "Careless Birthday".
Careless Birthday
I have known you quite a while,
When you talk, you make me smile.
A special friend, I will probably keep,
If you buy me, a cool jeep.
It’s your birthday, I nearly forgot,
Searched online, bought you squat.
Hope you don’t turn all bitter,
Since you’ve never been a quitter.
I nearly quit, writing this verse,
Mind is blank, it’s a curse.
Soon, your party will be here,
If I wake up, I’ll surely appear.
Childhood Games
On your Birthday, let’s play a game,
Your rolling eyes, perceive it as lame.
Remember when, you were a child,
Soiled playground days, exceptionally wild.
Dodgeball and horse,
Required some Force!
Unique jump-rope rhymes,
Oh, those were the times.
During Hide and Seek,
We knew you would peek.
When Simon would say to touch your nose,
He did mislead, and you learned to oppose.
Snakes and Ladders would never end,
Near the finish, always descend.
Spin the Bottle during early teens,
What was the brand of your ripped up jeans?
On your Birthday, let’s play a game,
I promise you, it might be lame.
Wishing you all the great things in life,
and we hope this birthday will bring you
an extra share of all that makes you happiest.
For all the wishes you make,
may every candle on your cake you get a wonderful surprise. Happy Birthday.
We know we're getting old when the only thing we want for our birthday
is not to be reminded of it.
Wishing you happiness today and to remind you too,
you make the world a nicer place just by being you!
Don't despair about the number of candles on your cake.
The more candles, the bigger the wish you can make.
May the years continue to be good to you. Happy Birthday!
May all your birthday dreams and wishes come true.
On this Birthday may all the wishes and dreams you dream today turn to reality.
May you live as long as you want and
never want as long as you live.
Irish Blessing
"If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power,
but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which,
ever young and ardent, sees the possible.
Pleasure disappoints, possibility never."
Soren Kierkegaard
Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.
Mahummad Ali
