It's good to be here. At 98, it's good to be anywhere.
George Burns
I don't care what you do for a living. If you love it, you are a success.
George Burns
Old age is when you resent the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated because there are fewer articles to read.

Be sure to wear a good cologne, a nice aftershave lotion, and a strong underarm deodorant. And it might be a good idea to wear some clothes, too.

When I wasn't working, I put the blame directly where it belonged - I blamed my agent. When I didn't have an agent, I spent time looking for a new agent so I would have somebody to blame.
George Burns
You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you're down there.

George Burns
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
George Burns
It's better to be happy doing something you love, even if you don't find success right away.
George Burns
Just because you're old that doesn't mean you're more forgetful. The same people whose names I can't remember now I couldn't remember fifty years ago. . .
George Burns
Critics are eunuchs at a gang bang.
George Burns
When I die I intend to take my music with me. I don't know what's out there, but I want to make sure it's in my key.
George Burns
Nice to be here? At my age it's nice to be anywhere.
George Burns
I love to sing, and I love to drink scotch. Most people would rather hear me drink scotch.
George Burns
Age to me means nothing. I can't get old I'm working. I was old when I was twenty-one and out of work. As long as you're working, you stay young. When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps over me and I forget my age.
George Burns
