More quotes by 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
When you stop giving and offering something to the rest of the world, it's time to turn out the lights.
George Burns
This is the sixth book I've written, which isn't bad for a guy who's only read two.
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
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
I'd rather be over the hill than under it.
George Burns
Joy is obtaining a big, loving, caring shut-knit household in yet another town.
George Burns
Life's but a day at most.
