50th Birthday Sayings

They say forty is the old age of youth, while fifty is the youth of old age. This is the age when one looks back and smiles at what he/she has achieved, sulks at the missed opportunities and chuckles at the moments of fun and laughter. Turning fifty is a major milestone of life when a person attains maximum success and starts fading away into the horizon. It marks a fine line between youth and old age, when neither is the person impotent yet nor as vibrant as the teenage years. Here we have a list of sayings for all those who are about to celebrate their 50^th birthday.
