50th Birthday Quotes

Funny 50th Birthday Quotes

Inspirational Birthday Quotes

That ability to laugh at ourselves is a blessing indeed. Traditionally in our society, men "mature," while women "get old." But laughing about our age not only brings us joy and a shared sense of community with other women. It also gives us power. It tells the world, "Think what you will of me and my age. But I know who I am and I am just fine."

As the wonderful actress Ethel Barrymore once said:

You grow up the day you have your first real laugh
—at yourself.

So join me for some very funny birthday quotes from some very funny ladies.

Truly, few women actually look more beautiful in later years, but the majesty that Katharine Hepburn brought to her life—in films and off—makes her one of the most beautiful women Hollywood ever created. Here she is on the set of "Rooster Cogburn", one of her last movies.
