40th Birthday Sayings

You're not 40
You're 18, with 22 years experience

qSm

Be wise with speed;

A fool at forty is a fool indeed.

At 40, you need to start taking it easier, its true
Just concentrate on getting older
Getting wiser may now be beyond you

but...
...she's happy to know you're 40% there!

May your 40th birthday bring you more adventures, more satisfaction and many more naps. What's that, you don't need 'em. Just you wait and see

The man who views the world at forty the same as he did at twenty has wasted twenty years of his life

qSm

Not the big Four-0

40th Birthday Sayings

On your decrepit, wizzened 40th birth anniversary
Try to feel reasonably young and fit
God knows that won't be easy
But this old? (Mate)(Buddy), even you don't deserve it.

Hard as it will be, try to feel youthful, today
Happy Birthday

40th Birthday Sayings

Enjoy your 40th birthday
With as much gusto as you can musto

qSm

So OK, it's your special big Four-O birthday
But don't expect me to be obsequious and fawning
You, being you, can't possibly be a good example
So do try, at least, to serve as a warning

Happy Birthday, buddy

qSm

To be old and wise
You must first be young and stupid
Happy 40th (Jimmy)
And don't worry
I'm sure the second phase can't be far away now

40th Birthday Sayings

Life begins at 40 - as well as fallen arches, rheumatism, sight and hearing loss
And telling the same story three or four times a night.
Happy Birthday and remember that life begins at 40
As well as failing memory, joints, hearing and sight
Oh, and Happy Birthday

You’re 40, aren’t you?

“A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man,

and takes a grain of salt with everything he says”

At 40 you’re now a WOW (Wiser Older Woman)

Get used to your wiser ways
Happy Birthday oh wise one

Jon Bratton 2012

qSm

At the age of 20, you didn't care what the world thought of you;

You were too busy having a ball

At 30, you did worry what it thought of you;

Now at 40, you’ll find it wasn't thinking of you at all
....but I am,

Happy happy birthday

My old..old friend

Jon Bratton 2012

qSm

“It is a rare and difficult attainment to grow old gracefully and happily”

Some wise person once said
I say you’ve had 40 years out of 80
So that's good; you’re only half dead
Therefore party hearty

Happy 40th, good buddy

40th Birthday Sayings

qSm

“As long as you’re learning, you’re not old

The excitement of learning separates youth from old age”.

So that’s good for you (Dave) since, clearly

You’re still at the infant school stage
Happy 40th


Jon Bratton 2012

qSm

“Old age is an excellent time for outrage...

to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.”
You’re outrageous now, on a daily basis

What’ll it be like, when you reach your peak?
Do try to behave today
On this your 40th Birthday

Jon Bratton 2012

qSm

“At 20 years of age the will reigns;
at 30 the wit; at 40 the judgement and will”

Judge well today, on this your 40th birthday

For, from tomorrow, it’s all downhill

Jon Bratton 2012

qSm

“The best years of a woman's life -
Are the ten years between 39 and 40”
Face it, you have now reached the big Four-0
Time to be a little less naughty
It’s time for you to change

To be an altogether different kind

Cantankerous, Outspoken and Outrageous

Spring readily to mind

In whichever way
Enjoy your day

40th Birthday Sayings
qSm

“The "I just woke up" face of your 30's
Is the "all day long" face of your 40's” you need to know
But still, you’re just 40 today, so it’ll be tomorrow

Before your new old face starts to show

Happy 40th, and smile

before it becomes a grimace


Jon Bratton 2012

qSm

Be pleased to look forward,
And pleased to look behind,
Count today, your 40th, and each birthday
With a grateful mind.
I’ve got no tacky commercial gift

But I do have this priceless thought to give
Birthdays are good things to have

When you consider the alternative

Jon Bratton 2012

qSm

Today you’re 40

No doubt, for lost youth you hunger

But remember these words of wisdom
“No wise man ever wished to be younger.”
So put up with your old joints

While embracing your new wisdom
Happy 40th


Jon Bratton 2012

qSm

It seems like yesterday you were a babe in my arms
With all your wonderful lovely charms
Now you're grown up and 40 today
There is only one thing to say
Happy 40th my wonderful daughter
From your mum, a thing I wouldn't alter

40th Birthday Sayings

40 They Say Is Where Life Begins
The 20s And 30s Have Wained
It Wont Be Long Before You Shout
"I Wish I Was 18 Again"
The Backside Starts To Sag And Droop
The Boobs Not As Firm As Before
The Thighs Expand, The Waist Doth Spread
And You Cant Touch Your Toes Any More
But Take Heart And Look Forward To NHS Specs
False Teeth And Rickety Bones
The Migraines, Arthritis, Cystitis And Cramp
And Death Of Your Homogenous Zones
The Onset Of Menopause Moods And Hot Flushes
Memory Loss, Incontinence, Decay
But Don’t Dwell Too Long On The Problems Of Life
"Bugger It All And Have a Great Day" !!!

by Sue
Saddleworth, UK

qSm

As it’s your 40th birthday
This, we'd like to say
May you be bathed in goodness, happiness and sunshineness
On this, your special day.

40th Birthday Sayings

Wishing you a second set of 40 years
And with luck they'll be as good as the first
But hopefully, you'll have less appetite for food, sex and risk
And, for your liver, less of a thirst

Happy Birthday

Jon Bratton © 2012

qSm

Throw all caution to the wind, today, on your 40th
No need to have wisdom and sage
But tomorrow, as you start your 5th decade
Do try to act more your age

Jon Bratton © 2012

qSm

I'll be standing by with a fire extinquisher, today
As you light 40...yes FORTY...candles
