At my age flowers scare me.
George Burns
Image
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.

This is the sixth book I've written, which isn't bad for a guy who's only read two.

If I paid $3 or $4 for a cigar, first I'd sleep with it.
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
Image
I look better, feel better, make love better and I'll tell you something else....I never lied better.
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.

I never go jogging, it makes me spill my martini.

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

I get a standing ovation just standing
George Burns

I'd rather be over the hill than under it.
George Burns
Image
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.

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.

There's an old saying, 'Life begins at forty.' That's silly. Life begins every morning you wake up.
George Burns
Image
You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.

Sex after 90 is like trying to shoot pool with a rope. Even putting my cigar in its holder is a thrill.

There are two kinds of cruises - pleasure and with children.
