George Burns

George Burns
Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed.
George Burns

George Burns
How can I die? I'm booked.
George Burns
I use the cigar for timing purposes. If I tell a joke, I smoke as long as they laugh and when they stop laughing I take the cigar out of my mouth and start my next joke.
George Burns
Someone who makes you laugh is a comedian. Someone who makes you think and then laugh is a humorist.
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
I look better, feel better, make love better and I'll tell you something else....I never lied better.
George Burns
I get a standing ovation just standing
George Burns
