Birthday quotes can be used inside a greeting card to add a personal touch or as part of a celebratory birthday toast. Including a remark from a writer, actor, or celebrity you know the recipient admires is a simple way to show your thoughtfulness.

Celebrate this special day with a birthday quotation that pays tribute to the nature of your relationship. Choose a happy, lighthearted saying for a colleague or neighbor. Show off your sentimental side with a passage that celebrates the lifelong bond you share with a childhood friend. Select a motivational quote for a family member who's working towards making big life changes in the upcoming year.

If you're looking for a quote for someone who has conflicted feelings about growing older, consider birthday sayings with more of a humorous nature. Gently poking fun at gray hairs, wrinkles, or other signs of aging while expressing affection and appreciation for your relationship is sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face.

The simplest way to include a quote in a birthday greeting is to handwrite the message inside the card. However, you could also opt to use your favorite image editing software to add the quote to a fun photo of the recipient. This is a creative way to brighten someone's day, regardless of the number of candles on their birthday cake.
