If you can give your child only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.

If you look over the years, the styles have changed - the clothes, the hair, the production, the approach to the songs. The icing to the cake has changed flavors. But if you really look at the cake itself, it's really the same.
John Oates |
In 1993 my birthday present was a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
Annette Funicello |
It is lovely, when I forget all birthdays, including my own, to find that somebody remembers me.
Ellen Glasgow |
It was on my fifth birthday that Papa put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'Remember, my son, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.'
Sam Levenson |
I wanted to buy a candle holder, but the store didn't have one. So I got a cake.
Mitch Hedberg |
I'm amazed. When I was 40, I thought I'd never make 50. And at 50 I thought the frosting on the cake would be 60. At 60, I was still going strong and enjoying everything.
Gloria Stuart |
My biggest hero, Gregory Peck, was my birthday present on April 14, 1973. I just sat and stared at him.

My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.
Jim Valvano |
My mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday, so I said I wanted to read poetry with her.

New Year's Day is every man's birthday.
Charles Lamb |
Only then, approaching my fortieth birthday, I made philosophy my life's work.
Karl Jaspers |
I'm not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart, like a drawing that a child does.
Victoria Beckham |
Let them eat cake.
Marie Antoinette |
Let us celebrate the occasion with wine and sweet words.
Plautus |
Like many women my age, I am 28 years old.
Mary Schmich |
I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity.
Eleanor Roosevelt |
I used to be good with kids, but as I get older, I'm grumpy and terrible with them. As for doing a gig at a 6-year old's birthday party, you couldn't pay me enough.
Johnny Vegas |
Love the giver more than the gift.
Brigham Young |
Most of us can remember a time when a birthday - especially if it was one's own - brightened the world as if a second sun has risen.
