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 179 quotes

Fall in love with what you're...

Fall in love with what you're going to do for a living. To be able to get out of bed and do what you love to do for the rest of the day is beyond words. I'd rather be a failure in something I love than be successful in something I hate.

George Burns 179 quotes

I love to sing, and I love to...

I love to sing, and I love to drink scotch. Most people would rather hear me drink scotch.

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

If you were married to Marilyn Monroe, you'd cheat with some ugly girl.

When I was in Vegas women were throwing their hotel keys at me. But it was after they checked out.

George Burns 179 quotes

Lots of people have asked me ...

Lots of people have asked me what Gracie and I did to make our marriage work. It's simple - we don't do anything. I think the trouble with a lot of people is that they work too hard at staying married. They make a business out of it. When you work too hard at a business you get tired; and when you get tired you get grouchy; and when you get grouchy you start fighting; and when you start fighting you're out of business.

Should I be the one to play God? We're both about the same age, but we grew up in different neighborhoods.

If I get big laughs, I'm a comedian. If I get little laughs, I'm a humorist. If I get no laughs, I'm a singer.

George Burns 179 quotes

The happiest people I know ar...

The happiest people I know are the ones that are still working. The saddest are the ones who are retired. Very few performers retire on their own. It's usually because no one wants them. Six years ago Sinatra announced his retirement. He's still working.

I get a standing ovation just standing

George Burns 179 quotes

When they saw me walking down...

When they saw me walking down the street smoking a cigar, they'd say, 'Hey, that 14-year-old kid may be going places.' Of course it's also a good prop on the stage ... When you can't think of what you're supposed to say next, you can puff on your cigar until you think of your next line.

George Burns 179 quotes

People ask me what I'd most appreciate getting for my eighty-seventh birthday. I tell them, a paternity suit.

I was always taught to respect my elders and I've now reached the age when I don't have anybody to respect.

George Burns 179 quotes

Young. Old. Just words. Inside we feel like our shoe size.

When I'm in front of an audience, all that love and vitality sweeps over me and I forget my age.

George Burns 179 quotes

There will always be a battle between the sexes because men and women want different things. Men want women and women want men.

George Burns 179 quotes

When I was young I was called...

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 179 quotes

I use the cigar for timing purposes. If I tell a joke, I smoke as long as they laugh and when they stop laughing I take the cigar out of my mouth and start my next joke.

Take care not to wear stripes that are out of sync with your wrinkles.
