Be quick to learn and wise to know.
George Burns

George Burns

George Burns
There are two kinds of cruises - pleasure and with children.
George Burns
As long as you're working, you stay young.
George Burns
When you stop giving and offering something to the rest of the world, it's time to turn out the lights.
George Burns
Young. Old. Just words. Inside we feel like our shoe size.
George Burns
Sex after 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope. Even putting my cigar in its holder is a thrill.
George Burns
I never go jogging, it makes me spill my martini.
George Burns
Define your business goals clearly so that others can see them as you do.
George Burns
There's an old saying, 'Life begins at forty.' That's silly. Life begins every morning you wake up.
George Burns
In what other business can a guy my age drink martinis, smoke cigars and sing? I think all people who retire ought to go into show business. I've been retired all my life.
George Burns
If I paid $3 or $4 for a cigar, first I'd sleep with it.
George Burns
