130 Birthday Quotes

The best Happy Birthday Quotes are timeless and are for sharing with family and friends. It’s a fantastic thing to be able to recognize and celebrate their special day; the day on which they were born! These words will make them smile, laugh and feel special! There are quotes from famous people and a lot more from the wisest people we know.

I’ll tell you what else I hear from the wisest people I know, “Im 35 love” Coming from my mom even though we celebrated her birthday 35th birthday 20 years ago, or at least I think it was around 20 years ago? Who knows my mom hasn’t shared her age in all of my adult years. Age to some people is a curse while to others it’s a blessing, Well let me tell you that age IS one hundred percent a blessing. You are wiser, more experienced and no longer do you get called “sport” or worse yet “young man/ young lady”. So you see that every event has its plus sides, and birthdays a truly full of them!

I hope that these Birthday Quotes help you wish them a very special day!
