To make a success of it, you've got to start young." — Fred Astaire "It is never too late to be what you might have been." — George Eliot "Men do not quit playing because they grow old; they grow old because they quit playing." — Oliver Wendell Holmes "If you are pining for youth, I think it produces a stereotypical old man because you only live in memory. You live in a place that doesn't exist. Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been." — David Bowie "At 20 years of age, the will reigns; at 30, the wit; and at 40, the judgement." — Benjamin Franklin "Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be!" — Robert Browning "Cherish all your happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age." — Booth Tarkington "Age is a case of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter." — Satchel Paige "A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams." — John Barrymore "With mirth and laughter, let old wrinkles come." — William Shakespeare "The way I see it, you should live everyday like it's your birthday." - Paris Hilton "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at 20 or 80. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young." — Henry Ford "Age is a high price to pay for maturity." — Tom Stoppard "No wise man ever wished to be younger." – Jonathan Swift “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” — C.S. Lewis “Life is short, and it’s up to you to make it sweet.” — Sarah Louise Delany “Dream big and dare to fail.” — Norman Vaughan
Why is a 39th birthday special?
Your 39th birthday is the last before you're "over the hill." The age of 40 is what many of us think of as the beginning of "middle age." 39, then, isn't just a special birthday because it's your last year in your thirties; it's also the last year before you may be considered "over the hill." Is being "over the hill" a bad thing? No way! Aging isn't only natural, it's a beautiful process marked by increased self-awareness and -actualization. That being said, some people feel anxious about getting older and may not appreciate being called "over the hill" (or "nearly over the hill"), so only refer to your loved one in this way if you're sure they won't be hurt by it.
