“Being a gentlemen to many men is an unnatural thing that requires sacrifice of their own pleasure and enjoyment, yet you seem to be a natural gentleman without trying. Only someone who respects all can get any real respect in return. I hope today on your birthday and every day you know in your heart that the strength of your character is inspiring and does not go unnoticed”.

“Respectable men come from respectable fathers and foster respectable sons. Today on the day you were born, I thank your father for nurturing someone like you and for the the contribution of your own son who shares your good qualities. The world would be a better place if there were more men like you in it”.

“While people who have faced a difficult start in life do not always manage to lead respectable lives as there are many challenges in their environment, yet you are one of those people who overcame the odds. I am so glad to know someone like you. Thank you for the good example you have given us to never give up. Happy Birthday”.

“An honest man can truly respect others. People are drawn to that as there is a comfort in their presence.

“Each year the passes where I have the fortune of a respected elder remaining present in my life is a gift. What can I give to you after you have given me so much? I can never repay it. You have shown me so much respect and support in my life, yet I have so little to offer you but my humble gratitude. Your impact on my life will never be forgotten. Happy Birthday”.

“Words fall short at times like this. Birthdays are an opportunity for us to tell people how we appreciate them in our lives. I have tried to think of a way to express my respect for you but my words fall short. All I can say is that if I can be the kind of example in someone else’s life that you have been for me, I will be a happy old man. I sincerely thank you and hope you have a great birthday”.

“I find that some older men I encounter seem to be stuck in their ways and judge others. I look at the example of your life and I see you are free of assumptions and approach everything with an open mind. This has given me a lot of respect for you. I hope I can be like you someday. Happy Birthday”.
