More quotes by George Burns
As long as you're working, you stay young.
George Burns
When I wasn't working, I put the blame directly where it belonged - I blamed my agent. When I didn't have an agent, I spent time looking for a new agent so I would have somebody to blame.
George Burns
Bridge is a game that separates the men from the boys. It also separates husbands and wives.
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
And God said 'Let there be Satan, so people don't blame everything on me. And let there be lawyers, so people don't blame everything on Satan.'
George Burns

George Burns
Critics are eunuchs at a gang bang.
George Burns
A young mind in a healthy body is a wonderful thing. Especially for an old man with an open night.
George Burns
Just because you're old that doesn't mean you're more forgetful. The same people whose names I can't remember now I couldn't remember fifty years ago. . .
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 never go jogging, it makes me spill my martini.
George Burns
Retire? I'm going to stay in show business until I'm the only one left
George Burns
I look better, feel better, make love better and I'll tell you something else....I never lied better.
George Burns
I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something.
George Burns
She didn't need to go to acting school to learn that the essence of acting is to act like you're not acting.
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
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
