Inspirational Birthday Quotes
This is a great list of inspirational birthday quotes. When I use my computer to make a birthday card, I always need some more wording to make it right. It just seems like the verses in the birthday card need a little help. So here’s place you can find some inspirational birthday quotes to use on birthday cards.
Birthdays are nature’s way of telling us to eat more cake.” - Unknown
Well this is more funny than inspirational – but I still enjoy this birthday quote. By the way, ever wonder who “unknown” is. That’s the poor guy that wasn’t clever enough to be famous when he said something good – in this case a great birthday quote.
“Those whom the gods love grow young.”
- Oscar Wilde
“The older the fiddler, the sweeter the tune.”
English Proverb
“In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.”
- Albert Camus
“Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.”
- Franz Kafka
The last thre inspirational birthday quotes are great for people worried about their age. Be careful about the Camus birthday quote. NOt to many people want to think they are in “winter” of their life. The birthday quote by Kafka may be one of the few things said by him I understand.
“I am long on ideas, but short on time. I expect to live to be only about a hundred.”
- Thomas Edison
“I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see.”
- John Burroughs
The last two I would consider great live longer birthday quotes.
“Count your life by smiles, not tears. Count your age by friends, not years.”
- Unknown
This one stand out and is a great inspirational birthday quote for a birthday card.
“May you live all the days of your life.”
- Johathan Swift
“Your life is a gift from the Creator. Your gift back to the Creator is what you do with your life.”
- Billy Mills
This one is a great inspirational or religious birthday quote. It’s non-denominational and would be a great fit for most birthday cards.
“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”
- Michael Althsuler
“The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a life well spent is eternal.”
- Cicero
“Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”
- Douglas MacArthur
“The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important.”
- Martin Luther King
The last three inspirational birthday quotes stand out for me. They would all be great on a birthday card, are all thoughtful, and are all unique. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen any of them on a commercial birthday card.
