Some of the funniest quotes in the world are birthday quotes. Age is, after all, a sensitive issue for some people so it must be handled with humor otherwise we risk losing our sanity as well as growing older. Following, you will find birthday quotes to remember.

Everyone loved “Lucy” and in the show “I love Lucy”, Lucille Ball was always a comedian. On stage or off, she was as comical as any female comedian and she had this to say about birthdays. She said, “The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age”.

Larry Lorenzoni had this interesting twist to put on birthdays. He said, “Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest”. Quite an interesting perspective, don’t you think?

Chili Davis said this, “Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional”.

Betty Davis said this about birthdays, “Getting old ain’t for sissies”. No one said she was mild mannered and soft spoken! She also said, “After 30, a body has a mind of its own!”

Joan Rivers once said, “Looking 50 is great if you’re 60!”

Robert Southey had this true statement to say about birthdays and life. He said, “Live as long as you may. The first 20 years are the longest half of your life”.

John Glenn said this about birthdays, “There is still no cure for the common birthday”.

An author unknown wrote this, “I have trouble remembering how old I am. I know I must be old because everything has moved south but yet I still get around good. I’m not discussing hemorrhoids and other personal problems so I must be under 70 and I no longer have the need for Midol, so I must be over 50. A 20 year spread is OK by me and this way no one will discuss my age once I’m gone”.

W.B. Pitkin said, “Life begins at 40” and many people would agree. It’s a time when you can afford the fast cars and expensive wines and still go to bed early enough to feel good the next morning.

Another unknown quote is, “I’ve never understood the need for people to discuss their age at birthday parties. Why not have a party and just celebrate with a ‘Happy I’m Alive for another year to torment my ex-wife’ and call it a day?”

Birthdays give us a lot to be thankful for and a lot to think about. You think about the fact that you are another year older and that you aren’t getting any younger. However, you remember it’s better than being 10 feet under!
