More quotes by George Burns
There are many ways to die in bed, but the best way is not alone.
George Burns
I did go to school - my kind of school. When I was a kid I went out ... and you meet people. You talk to them. Anybody says something that makes sense, it stays with you, rubs off on you. That kind of school.
George Burns
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
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
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.

Be quick to learn and wise to know.
George Burns
Since I've made it to 87 so far, obviously my two kids and my seven grandchildren haven't been too hard on me. On the other hand, the fact that I have an unlisted phone number and move a lot might have something to do with it.

A young mind in a healthy body is a wonderful thing. Especially for an old man with an open night.
George Burns
I drink coffee with my right hand, and I smoke with my left. But I talk with both hands.
George Burns
If you stay in the business long enough and get to be old enough, you get to be new again.
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
When you stop giving and offering something to the rest of the world, it's time to turn out the lights.
George Burns
Say Goodnight Gracie.
George Burns
When Jack Benny has a party, you not only bring your own scotch, you bring your own rocks.
George Burns
I get a standing ovation just standing
George Burns
I don't care what you do for a living. If you love it, you are a success.
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
When asked in his late 90s if his doctor knew he still smoked, Burns said, 'No ... he's dead.'
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
I'd rather be over the hill than under it.
George Burns
