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

An archaeologist is the best husband a woman
can have because the older she gets the more interested he becomes.
Agatha Christie
If things get better with age, then you're
approaching magnificent.
Nicole Beale
You've logged so many miles in the voyage of
life that you've been upgraded to First Class!
Evelyn Loeb
After 40 a woman has to choose between losing
her figure or her face. My advice is to keep your face and stay sitting
down.
Dame Barbara Cartland
With the grace of God and a good lighting
director, I plan to stick around for a good long time.
Barbara Walters
There are only three ages for women in
Hollywood: Babe, District Attorney and Driving Miss Daisy.
Goldie Hawn
I like this funny birthday quote from a pillar of beauty:
Nature gives you the face you have at twenty,
but it's up to you to merit the face you have at 50.
Coco Chanel
Katharine Hepburn's tart sense of humor comes through in this funny birthday quote:
'Isn't it fun getting older'
is really a terrible fallacy. That's like saying I prefer driving an old car
with a flat tire.
Katharine Hepburn
Nobody's "old" anymore—they've
just been around for a long time.
Abigail Van Buren
The hardest years in life are those between
10 and 70.
Helen Hayes, at 83
Discussing how old you are is the temple of
boredom.
Ruth Gordon
Perhaps one has to be very old before one
learns how to be amused rather than shocked.
Pearl S. Buck
Authorities say brain cells may shrink, but
they don't necessarily die. Frankly, I am cheered by the fact that
something is shrinking. I'd be even more thrilled if what was shrinking
affected my dress size, but you can't have everything.
Erma Bombeck
I feel like a million tonight—but one at a
time.
Mae West
From birth to age 18, a girl needs good
parents. From 18 to 35, she needs good looks. From 35 to 55, she
needs a good personality. From 55 on, she needs good cash.
Sophie Tucker
Age is not important unless you're a cheese.
Helen Hayes
After thirty, a body has a mind of its own.
Bette Midler
No one grows old by living—only by losing
interest in living.
Marie Ray
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 Rubinstein
Count on the gorgeous Gabor sisters to have funny birthday quotes:
I believe in loyalty. When a woman
reaches an age she likes, she should stick with it.
Eva Gabor
When you're 20 and pretty, then you're rather
like Switzerland—beautiful but dull.
Faye Dunaway
Happiness is good health and a bad memory.
Ingrid Bergman
The lovely thing about being 40 is that you
can appreciate 25 year old men.
Colleen McCullough
I think all this talk about age is
foolish. Every time I'm one year older, everyone else is too.
Gloria Swanson
I think on-stage nudity is disgusting,
shameful and damaging to all things American. But if I were 22 with a
great body, it would be artistic, tasteful, patriotic and a progressive
religious experience.
Shelley Winters
This fitness expert has the right idea in this funny birthday quote:
You can't turn back the clock. But you
can wind it up again.
Bonnie Prudden
We are always the same age inside.
Gertrude Stein
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

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.
