40th Birthday Sayings

Welcome to 40th Birthday Sayings which I have created by adapting some well known quotes to be more readily used on a birthday card or as part of a speech or toast
Here is the first batch
At 40 you’ve got your head together but your body is starting to fall apart.
At Forty you’re at the old age of youth, entering the youth of old age
At 40 you are approaching the dead centre of middle age. It occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush to the net.
At 40 you have a lot to be thankful for. Isn’t it nice that wrinkles, greying hair, thinning hair and developing belly doesn't hurt
My 40th Birthday Sayings blog entry continues with these

Don't worry about avoiding temptation - at your age now it will start avoiding you.
At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30 the wit; at 40 the judgment. ~Benjamin Franklin
At your age now you should become a graduate of the Zsa Zsa Gabor School of Creative Mathematics, and you’ll honestly not know how old you are.
Yet more 40th Birthday Sayings

Age seldom arrives smoothly or quickly. It’s your 40th birthday. Did you jerk today?
Lest you haven't found one yet here's four more 40th Birthday Sayings
Wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. In your case, age has just shown up all by itself.
At your age you can do just as much as ever - but would rather not.
Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen. Said Mark TwainIf it were so, today you’d still be 40 but next year you’d be 39 not 41
For now that's the last of the 40th Birthday sayings but look in again. I am working on more
