More quotes by George Burns
Define your business goals clearly so that others can see them as you do.
George Burns
Be quick to learn and wise to know.
George Burns
If I paid $3 or $4 for a cigar, first I'd sleep with it.
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
You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoelaces and wonder what else you could do while you're down there.
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
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
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
I'd rather be over the hill than under it.
George Burns
Someone who makes you laugh is a comedian. Someone who makes you think and then laugh is a humorist.
George Burns
It's better to be happy doing something you love, even if you don't find success right away.
George Burns
I smoke ten to fifteen cigars a day. At my age I have to hold on to something.
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
Young. Old. Just words. Inside we feel like our shoe size.
George Burns
If you stay in the business long enough and get to be old enough, you get to be new again.
George Burns
In what other business can a guy my age drink martinis, smoke cigars and sing? I think all people who retire ought to go into show business. I've been retired all my life.
George Burns
How can I die? I'm booked.
George Burns
I love to sing, and I love to drink scotch. Most people would rather hear me drink scotch.
George Burns
When Jack Benny has a party, you not only bring your own scotch, you bring your own rocks.
George Burns
