Never eat more than you can lift. —Miss Piggy
Here's to age. Do not resist growing old, many are denied the privilege. —Anonymous
A Merry Christmas this December to a lot of folks I don't remember. —Franklin Adams
I have known many, liked a few, loved only one, so here's to you. —Anonymous

Here's to happiness, it sneaks in through a door you didn't know you left open. —John Barrymore
Here's to love which doesn't make the world go round, but it sure makes the ride worthwhile. —Mae West
I know the things I know, and do the things I do, And if you do not like me so to hell, my love, with you! —Dorothy Parker
