Today is my 32nd Birthday. I thought I'd share a few quotes relating to aging with ya'll. I hope you enjoy them.

In spite of illness, in spite even of the archenemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways.
Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937)

The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes.
Frank Lloyd Wright (1869 - 1959)

The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older.
Anouk Aimee

All that really belongs to us is time; even he who has nothing else has that.
Baltasar Gracian

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
Rodin (1840 - 1917)

The whole life of man is but a point of time; let us enjoy it.
Plutarch (46 AD - 120 AD)

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001)

On a long enough timeline, everyone's survival rate drops to zero.
Tyler Durden (Robert Pahulniak)

As I grow older I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.
Andrew Carnegie

Enjoy.

As Flap said, H. B. G. While you can't eat the cake she made, you can eat some. Of course, over there I think it is basically past midnight. So I take back my birthday wishes... Just kidding!
