More quotes by George Burns
Tennis is a young man's game. Until you're 25, you can play singles. From 25 to 35, you should play doubles. I won't tell you exactly how old I am, but when I played, there were 28 men on the court - just on my side of the net.
George Burns
I love to sing, and I love to drink scotch. Most people would rather hear me drink scotch.
George Burns
In those days the best painkiller was ice it wasn't addictive and it was particularly effective if you poured some whiskey over it.
George Burns
I can't understand why I flunked American history. When I was a kid there was so little of it.
George Burns
If you ask what is the single most important key to longevity, I would have to say it is avoiding worry, stress and tension. And if you didn't ask me, I'd still have to say it.
George Burns
I'd rather be a flop at show business than to be a success at something I didn't like.
George Burns

George Burns
At my age flowers scare me.
George Burns
I drink coffee with my right hand, and I smoke with my left. But I talk with both hands.
George Burns
I was brought up to respect my elders, so now I don't have to respect anybody.
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
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
I'd rather be over the hill than under it.
George Burns
It takes only one drink to get me drunk. The trouble is, I can't remember if it's the thirteenth or the fourteenth.
George Burns
Life's but a day at most.
George Burns
