George Burns
In those days the best painkiller was ice it wasn't addictive and it was particularly effective if you poured some whiskey over it.
George Burns
I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.
George Burns
I get a standing ovation just standing
George Burns
I never go jogging, it makes me spill my martini.
George Burns
When I was young I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then and I'm labeled senile.
George Burns
Be sure to wear a good cologne, a nice aftershave lotion, and a strong underarm deodorant. And it might be a good idea to wear some clothes, too.
George Burns
I look better, feel better, make love better and I'll tell you something else....I never lied better.
George Burns
