INSPIRATIONAL BIRTHDAY QUOTE

Sometimes we wish we could erase some of the years.  Well, maybe we can.  

How do you instantly erase a few years?  Follow the advice in the  birthday quote from Mark Twain.  Helen Hayes has a splendid outlook on life, too.

But for the truest inspirational birthday quote, I opt for Sophia Loren.  She, Elizabeth Taylor and Katherine Hepburn have been my screen idols as long as I can remember.  Each approached age with lust and dignity -- what more could one dream of?

My cousin Margie and I were at the family 4th of July picnic one year, listening to an aunt flaunt her new plastic surgery.  Margie and I looked at each other, and although neither of us is a beauty, we promised each other we would never, never try to erase the well-earned life lines we were earning.  And we didn't.

So, for all of us who have earned some life lines as the years have passed, here is an inspirational birthday quote selection.

Whatever a man's age, he can reduce it several years by putting a bright-colored flower in his button-hole.
Mark Twain in "the American Claimant"

The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age.
Lucille Ball

It's paradoxical that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn't appeal to anyone.
Andy Rooney

Thirty-five is a very attractive age.  London society is full of women of the highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained thirty-five for years.
Oscar Wilde

I was born in 1962.  True.  And the room next to me was 1963.
Joan Rivers

Age is not important unless you're a cheese.
Helen Hayes

You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.
George Burns

It was a very good year.
Frank Sinatra's delightful walk through the decades

When it comes to staying young, a mind-lift beats a face-lift any day.
Marty Bucella

Being middle-aged is a nice change from being young.
Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Don't worry about middle age.  You'll outgrow it.
Laurence J. Peter

I've got ten more good years!
Nancy Wilson's wonderful song of the decades in a women's life.

There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of the people you love.  When you will learn to tap this source, you will have truly defeated age.
Sophia Loren (who, I might add, is as stunningly beautiful today as she was 30 years ago)
