From our birthday, until we die,
Is but the winking of an eye.
the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.
Of late I appear
To have reached that stage
When people who look old
Who are only my age.
Be kind to your kids, they'll be choosing your nursing home.
We are all born naked and screaming and if you're lucky that sort of thing won't stop there.
You were born an original. Don't die a copy.
Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
From our birthday, until we die,
Is but the winking of an eye.
If I'd known I was going to live this long (100 years), I'd have taken better care of myself.
We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education.
