I drink coffee with my right hand, and I smoke with my left. But I talk with both hands.
George Burns
How can I die? I'm booked.
George Burns
Define your business goals clearly so that others can see them as you do.

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.
George Burns
I'd rather be over the hill than under it.
George Burns
I can't afford to die I'd lose too much money.
George Burns
If you stay in the business long enough and get to be old enough, you get to be new again.
George Burns
Say Goodnight Gracie.
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
