Birthdays may only come around once a year, but you can be
certain that happy birthday messages and happy birthday sayings
ring true all year round.
Some of the birthday phrases from famous people in history
can remind us the real meaning of why we celebrate our
birthdays: another year of gained experience and wisdom.
According to Dr. Deepak Chopra getting older in terms of
experiencing a decaying and illness struck body has more to do
with results of beliefs and superstition than an actual
biological clock.
Okay, that was perhaps a bit confusing, but what he means is
that what you expect will be more or less what you get.
And if we put this knowledge into words of empowerment: You
decide what you want to experience. It's all your choice!
According to Dr. Deepak Chopra your belief system along with
your habits, behavior, mood and eating habits "can influence
your life by 30 to 50 years".
Not bad, hey!
Here are some happy birthday messages and happy birthday
phrases by famous people that emphasize how much ageing is only
a concept created in your mind:
Age is all in your mind. The trick is keeping it from
down creeping into your body.
~ Funny Happy Birthday Sayings ~
We turn not older with years, but newer every day.
~ Emily Dickinson ~
The hardest years of life are those between ten and

Youth is happy because it has the ability to see
beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows
old.
~ Franz Kafka ~
It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all
the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle
age, and all the regrets into old age.
~ Margaret Mead ~
Birthday Messages That Focus on the Pure Joy of Living
What is getting older anyway? What does it mean?
Well, for some reason some people make getting older about
wrinkles or what they yet haven't achieved or how little time
they now have left for their goals.
But this is just an attitude. And an attitude is always a
choice. And choices can change!
So why not choose to look at life as an experience. An
experience that is not to be judged or measured but LIVED and
appreciated.
Going away from judging life experiences as either good or
bad and rather look them as an chance to live, learn and
appreciate will make you relax and just take in that which is.
Which by the way is much more pleasurable.
Perhaps you'll find some good inspiration in the following
happy birthday sayings and happy birthday messages:
Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the
people who have most live the longest.
~ Father Larry Lorenzoni ~
God grant you many and happy years,
Till, when the last has crowned you
The dawn of endless days appears
And heaven shining round you!
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes ~
I want to be an artist

~ Happy Birthday Phrases ~
If things get better with age, then you're
approaching magnificent.
~ Nicole Beale ~
Nobody's old anymore – they've just been around for a
long time.
~ Abigail Van Buren ~
Youth had always been a habit of hers for song long
that she could not part with it.
~ Rudyard Kipling ~

~ Gertrude Stein ~
To me, fair friend, you can never be old
For as you were when first your eye I eye'd
Such seems your beauty still
~ William Shakespeare. ~
An old man loved is winter with flowers.
~ German Happy Birthday Phrases ~
Middle age is when you've met so many people that
every new person you meet reminds you of someone else.
~ Ogden Nash ~
A man is getting old when he walks around a puddle
instead of through it.
~ Maurice Chevalier ~
Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have
been.
~ Mark Twain ~
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is the work of
art.
~ George Kanin ~
If you want to look young and thin, hang around old
fat people.
~ Jim Eason ~
Sooner or later we all discover that the important
moments in life are not the advertised ones; the birthdays, the
graduations, nor the great goals achieved. The real milestones
are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory
unannounced, stray dogs that amble in, sniff around a bit, and
simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these.
~ Susan B. Anthony ~
In the End Life is Just About Being!
Why is it that birthday messages typically embody so much
wisdom?
Well, probably because birthdays mark an opportunity to stand
back and reflect upon your life, your values and goals.
This is probably why some people fear their birthdays because
they might not like a reminder of where they are in their life.
They would rather have achieved more, looked better and be more
popular.
So, many people put on their critical glasses and give
themselves a really hard time.
And this is such a pity as they forget that there are
actually no other goals in life than enjoying it. Period!
All personal goals, values and believes are nothing but that
and they are not Life.
They are not about Being.
And Being doesn't really require anything more than stopping
up, breathing in and loving.
Very, very simple actually.
Many wise men and woman have had a lot to say about
birthdays, and many happy birthday messages and happy birthday
sayings are chock full of wisdom relating to birthdays:
The truth about aging is that it will only affect you
as much as you let it.
~ Andrew Peloquin ~
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 Rubenstein ~
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 ~
When I turned two I was really anxious, because I'd
doubled my age in a year. If this keeps up, I thought, by the
time I'm five I'll be 64.
~ Funny Happy Birthday Sayings ~
The return of my birthday, if I remember it, fills me
with old thoughts which it seems to be the general care of
humanity to escape.

antibiotics, nasal spray, and Diet Coke, it has become routine

sometimes more than once.

a crime that you haven't committed.
~ George Powell ~
Another candle in your cake?
Well, that's no cause to pout.
Be glad that you have strength enough
To blow the damn things out!
~ Funny Birthday Messages ~
In childhood, we yearn to be grownups. In old age, we
yearn to be kids. It just seems that all would be wonderful if
we didn't have to celebrate our birthdays in chronological
order.
~ Robert Brault ~
When I was younger, I could remember anything,
whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are now
decaying and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the
things that have never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like
this, but we all have to do it.
~ Mark Twain ~
A Mixed Batch of Birthday Messages and Happy Birthday
Phrases
You get what you expect!
Yes, that is true.
Life will do its very best to live up to your expectations
and match your beliefs. Good as well as bad.
There's nothing magical about it, it's pure quantum theory,
or in other words, it's the law of attraction.
So why not use a birthday to improve on your beliefs. Make it
hallmark to give your beliefs a slight turn towards the more
positive. Or perhaps not just only a little bit but a whole low.
How about that!
It can never really hurt and it's definitely worth a try,
don't you think!
Here is the last batch or happy birthday messages and funny
age quotes for now:
Sing a song of Birthdays
Full of fun and cheer
And may you keep on having them
For many a happy year
~ Birthday Messages ~
Here's a toast to the future
A sigh for the past
We can love and remember
And hope to the last
And for all the base lies
That the Almanacs hold
While there's love in the heart
We can never grow old
~ Birthday Messages ~
We advance in years somewhat in the manner of an army
invading in a barren land; the age that we have reached, as the
old saying goes, we but hold with an outpost, and still keep
open communications with the extreme rear and first beginnings
of the march.
~ Robert Louis Stevenson ~
Middle age is having a choice between two
temptations, and choosing the one that will get you home
earlier.
~ Dan Bennett ~
What is but age? Something to count?
Some people fight it as if climbing the mount.
I choose to live with dignity and grace.
And offer a drink to all in this place.
~ Happy Birthday Sayings ~
I've never known a person to live to be 110 or more,
and then die, to be remarkable for anything else.

To wish you joy on your birthday
And all the whole year through
For all the best that life can hold
Is none too good for you

To your birthday, with glass held high
Glad it's you that's older, not I

My Birthday! What a difference sound
That word had in my youthful ears
And how each time the day comes round
Less and less white its mark appears

Every human being on earth is born with tragedy, and
it isn't original sin. He's born with the tragedy that he has to
grow up…a lot of people don't have the courage to do it.
~ Helen Hayes ~
