Birthday wishes quotes
These birthday wishes quotes are short, quotable lines you can drop into a card, a caption or a message when a plain "happy birthday" feels too thin. Every line here is original, written to sound good on its own and still feel personal when you send it.
They are grouped by who you are writing for: friends, siblings, a partner, parents and colleagues. You will also find quotes for your own birthday, thank you quotes for replying to wishes, a few with emojis for Instagram and a section of quotes in Hindi.

Save any card to your phone and share it on WhatsApp, Instagram or as your status. The text of each card is also in the "Send text" button.
How to make the wish personal
A quote becomes a wish when you add one line of your own. Pick a quote that fits the person, then follow it with something only you would say: a shared memory, a nickname or a plan for the day. On a card, write the quote at the top and your personal note below it, so the quote sets the mood and your words carry the meaning.
For Instagram, a short quote with one emoji works well as a caption over a photo of the two of you. For colleagues, keep it light and avoid anything too personal. When friends flood your phone on your own birthday, a thank you quote posted as a status saves you from replying to everyone one by one, though a personal reply to close people still matters.
Tips before you send
- Add one personal line after the quote so it does not read like a forward.
- Use quotes with emojis for captions and plain ones for printed cards.
- Post a thank you quote the evening of your birthday, once most wishes have come in.

Post a thank you quote as a status or caption, for example "My phone was buzzing, and so was my heart. Thanks for every wish." Reply personally to close family and friends as well.
