Half Milestone , 50th Birthday Quotes

admin — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 16:31:53 +0000

50 is the age when you look back and smile at what you have achieved, frown at those missed opportunities, and release a slight chuckle at those moments.

Not impotent old, not as vibrant as the teen either.
50 is a milestone, when you feel you can do anything.
Many celebrities remarry at 50.

Most successful Men get their success at 50, and hence it is an age when Girls view them as sugar daddies. Those are the lucky ones.
Many people just start fade away into the sunset.

And the French nocely put it as “Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age”

For all those reaching the 50th birthday, here is a list of sayings and quotes for the 50th birthday occasion.

“I’m aiming by the time I’m fifty to stop being an adolescent.” By Wendy Cope

“The years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down. ”

Here something to cheer you up. “Looking fifty is great–if you’re sixty.”

or something like “There are numerous advantages in being fifty ?€“ just ask any eighty year old!”

Here is one bad joke ” You?€™ll never have to endure those harrowing visits to the dentist again.”

George Orwell says that you can’t hide :” At age 50, everyone has the face he deserves.”

And Coco Chanel with Orwell seem to agree “Nature gives you the face you have at twenty, but it’s up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.”

And then there are those like Muhammad Ali who age gracefully, “The man who views the world at fifty the same as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.”

But does she agree?

“I’m not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You’re as old as you feel” By Elizabeth Arden

But again, Pearl S Buck agrees, “Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.”

“To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age.”

“I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.” By Alan Bleasdale

” You can finally sell those dreadful diet and exercise books that have sat unopened on the bookshelf for years.”

“At fifty you?€™ve accumulated the knowledge and wisdom of half a century. This would be a tremendous asset if only darned senility hadn?€™t wiped your memory bank.”

“In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.”

“The only way to relieve the frustration of being fifty-something is to constantly seek new ways of irritating the young. Fortunately in old age, you develop the ability to do this naturally in every single thing you do or say.”

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” This what is important, and not how many years you have lived.

Nice one : “Age is a matter of feeling, not of years.” By George William Curtis

At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths –your abilities and your failings.

“Few women, I fear, have had such reason as I have to think the long sad years of youth were worth living for the sake of middle age.”

“You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older.”

“To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.” By Henri Frederic Amiel

But then, “Aging seems to be the only available way to live a long life.” You can’t live long without aging, no?

Birthday Quotes

“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.’”

“Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.”

“There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents … and only one for birthday presents, you know.”
“Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.”

“May you live all the days of your life.”

“There is still no cure for the common birthday. ”

“A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age.”

“Men are like wine. Some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age.”

“To me, old age is always 15 years older than I am.”

George Bernard Shaw was at his wittiest best when he said,
“Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.”

But I am more of the opinion that, “You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. ”

Another Birthday Quote that can be used to tease slightly elder people:

“Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle. ” Arrgh.. but the fast food fried food culture has affected the middle much before middle age these days..

“Age is a high price to pay for maturity.”

A funny Birthday quote here:

“Inside every older person is a younger person – wondering what the hell happened. “

Here is my favorite Birthday Quote from Robert Frost

“Time and Tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of thirty. “

Inside every older person is a younger person – wondering what the hell happened.

There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents … and only one for birthday presents, you know. Was it Lewis Carol who said this?

I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing ‘ Happy Birthday .’

No wonder I’m unhappy – My twin forgot my birthday.
