More quotes by George Burns
Critics are eunuchs at a gang bang.
George Burns
I've been a straight man for so many years that from force of habit I repeat everything. I went out fishing with a fellow the other day and he fell overboard. He yelled, Help! Help! Help! so I said, Help? Help? Help? And while I was waiting for him to get his laugh, he drowned.
George Burns
A young mind in a healthy body is a wonderful thing. Especially for an old man with an open night.
George Burns
It's better to be happy doing something you love, even if you don't find success right away.
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'd rather be a flop at show business than to be a success at something I didn't like.

George Burns
What actresses do today when they appear on the screen is what they did once upon a time for getting to appear on the screen.
George Burns

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
The heart is a temple wherein all truth resides.
George Burns
If you were married to Marilyn Monroe, you'd cheat with some ugly girl.
George Burns
Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed.
George Burns
With the collapse of vaudeville new talent has no place to stink.
George Burns
How did I ever get sick? I've already had everything.
George Burns
I look better, feel better, make love better and I'll tell you something else....I never lied better.
George Burns
Sex can be fun after eighty, after ninety, and after lunch!
George Burns
Be quick to learn and wise to know.
George Burns
I don't have a drinking problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down, no problem.
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
