Poetry and Sayings

Birthday

• It is the simple things of life that make living worthwhile, the sweet fundamental things such as love and duty, work and rest, and living close to nature.



• As you get older, you gain knowledge, tolerance and serenity...then your teeth fall out.
  
  
• Loving, learning, a world to be seen.
  So much before you are sweet sixteen.



• Here's to you. No matter how old you are, you don't look it!



• Not to be cheered by praise,
  Not to be grieved by blame,
  But to know thoroughly one's own virtues and powers,
  Are the characteristics of an excellent man.
  
  
• Age sits with decent grace upon your visage,
  And worthily becomes your silver locks;
  You bear the marks of many years well spent,
  And wise experience.
  
  
• Another candle on your cake?
  Well, that's no cause to pout.
  Be glad that you have strength enough
  To blow the damn thing out.
  
  
• Health to you
  Wealth to you
  All the best that life can give to you.
  May fortune still be kind to you,
  And happiness be true to you,
  And life be long and good to you,
  Is the toast of all your friends to you.
  
  
• A bit of sun, a bit of cheer,
  A guardian angel always near,
  Someone to love, some work to do,
  These things I warmly wish for you.
  
  
• As you are at seven, so you are at seventy.



• Gray hair is a glorious crown won by a righteous life.



• If things get better with age, then you are approaching Magnificent.
