There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down simply by spending his money somewhere else.

I used to go down every year for the remembrance of Elvis' birthday. Memphis State College invited me to sit in the auditorium and speak to the people for one of those Elvis days.

On a royal birthday every house must fly a flag or the owner would be dragged to a police station and be fined twenty-five rubles.

All I watch is the Food Network. I took a cheesemaking class a few weeks ago and I told my family and friends to only get me kitchen stuff on my birthday. I'm into every kind of cookbook and anything by Anthony Bourdain. I'd love to own a restaurant if I could find the right chef.

We were probably the last people in the country to get a VCR and we didn't have cable. There wasn't any admiration of glamour no 'I want to look like them or have that lifestyle' because everyone in my town had the same lifestyle. So I didn't think 'Ooh a movie star's birthday!' I just thought 'What?'

My mom FedExes a red velvet cake she makes from scratch to me every birthday.

And for the city's birthday we will host events in every neighborhood of the city inviting all of our residents to share in the celebration of Boston's great epic - the story of neighbors who support one another where it matters most.

I want to say that probably 24 hours after I told CBS that I was stepping down at my 65th birthday I was already regretting it. And I regretted it every day since.

Since graduation I have measured time in 4-by-5-inch pieces of paper four days on the left and three on the right. Every social engagement interview reading flight doctor's appointment birthday and dry-cleaning reminder has been handwritten between metal loops.

Anybody can have a birthday. It requires nothing. Murderers have birthdays. It's the opposite of anything that I believe in. And I don't like at work where you stop everything to sing 'Happy Birthday' to someone. I feel like that's for children.

When I was a kid for my birthday every year my mother made me pasta bechamel which is rigatoni with a white cream sauce.

Every day every birthday candle I blow out every penny I throw over my shoulder in a wishing well every time my daughter says 'Let's make a wish on a star ' there's one thing I wish for: wisdom.

When I was little I thought isn't it nice that everybody celebrates on my birthday? Because it's July 4th.

I'm amazed. When I was 40 I thought I'd never make 50. And at 50 I thought the frosting on the cake would be 60. At 60 I was still going strong and enjoying everything.

I binge when I'm happy. When everything is going really well every day is like I'm at a birthday party.

New Year's Day is every man's birthday.

The way I see it you should live everyday like its your birthday.

I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing 'Happy Birthday.'

Every year on your birthday you get a chance to start new.

Speaking of Twitter I don't even know if I composed a blog entry in 2009 as I was too busy parceling my every thought into cute 140-character sound bites. I used to only worry about being pithy for a living now some of my best lines are wasted on a free app!

The will to work of everyone in the country is the best guarantee of national survival.

He is the best man who when making his plans fears and reflects on everything that can happen to him but in the moment of action is bold.

Every job is good if you do your best and work hard. A man who works hard stinks only to the ones that have nothing to do but smell.

I just try to do the best job I possibly can - put the blinders on go to work and be the best you can possibly be. Once you have done everything that you possibly can - you've put forth your greatest effort - then I can live with whatever's next.
