Birthday

"Happy and blessed birthday to every lover, and may love bring us together, and may the world hear us."

"Today we celebrate and light candles, renewing the days of happiness and love within us, and we converse in sweet, pure, and delightful affection, drawing the present to the days of our past. Joy on your birthday, my dear, may you always be in my heart."

"Today is a special day, it’s my birthday with my life partner"

"Every year you are the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me,” and “May you always be my support in this world, my darling.”"

"On this day, you became my life, my hope, my destiny in this world, my refuge, and the love of my life. Every year, you are the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me."

"If I could go back in time a thousand times, I would choose you every time, because every beat of my heart cries out your name."

"There is still no cure for the common birthday."

"I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth."

"Dylan Thomas"

"these nights we hear the horses running in the rain"

"Romance novels are birthday cake and life is often peanut butter and jelly. I think everyone should have lots of delicious romance novels lying around for those times when the peanut butter of life gets stuck to the roof of your mouth."

"You who wish to celebrate a birthday, inquire first who was born. One’s true birthday is when one enters into the Eternal Being which shines forever without birth or death."

"Of all days, on one’s birthday one should mourn one’s fall (into samsara). To celebrate it as a festival is like adorning and glorifying a corpse. To seek one’s Self and merge in it is wisdom."

"Birthdays weigh heavily on one's self-esteem. Early in the morning especially."

"A birthday:—and now a day that rose With much of hope, with meaning rife— A thoughtful day from dawn to close: The middle day of human life."

"As this auspicious day began the race Of ev'ry virtue join'd with ev'ry grace; May you, who own them, welcome its return, Till excellence, like yours, again is born. The years we wish, will half your charms impair; The years we wish, the better half will spare; The victims of your eyes will bleed no more, But all the beauties of your mind adore."

"Believing hear, what you deserve to hear: Your birthday as my own to me is dear. Blest and distinguished days! which we should prize The first, the kindest bounty of the skies. But yours gives most; for mine did only lend Me to the world; yours gave to me a friend."

"My birthday!—what a different sound That word had in my youthful ears; And how each time the day comes round, Less and less white its mark appears."

"Whatever with the past has gone the best is always yet to come."

"Is that a birthday? 'tis, alas! too clear; 'Tis but the funeral of the former year."

"With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come."
