The golden years are upon you. You’ve lived, loved and learned volumes in your life. Celebrating your 70th, 80th, 90th or even your 100th birthday is cause to really celebrate. We’ve put together some great milestone birthday quotes that we think point out the good, the bad, and the beautiful about the golden years.
” I have achieved my seventy years in the usual way, by sticking strictly to a scheme of life which would kill anybody else….I will offer here, as a sound maxim, this: That we can’t reach old age by another man’s road.”
- Mark Twain, at his seventieth birthday dinner; 1905
