Birthday Quotes, Sayings for birthdays

When we think about our birthday we often have mixed feelings, especially if we are older. Of course, young children aren’t concerned about feeling anything but happy. They anticipate presents and parties. Teenagers anticipate their 16th birthday or their 18th, for various reasons. After we reach the age of 30, and every year from that time on, adults don’t necessarily look forward to this special day. In order to deal with the concept of getting older, adults come up with all sorts of ways to express their feelings. These come out in some very interesting quotes about the anniversary of our birth.

Some folks look at the idea of a birthday in a positive light, believing that each new year is an opportunity to continue enjoying life. Others have a sarcastic attitude, noting that having more birthdays is better than the alternative! Some comedians and wisecracking types see each birthday as just another example of how we have survived another year and have done it with a sense of humor. Then there are the more serious, philosophical views of birthdays. Some people believe and state very strongly that marking each passing year is an opportunity to assess how much we have grown and how much we have learned. There’s probably a birthday quote that fits your situation.
