Everyday happiness means getting up in the morning, and you can't wait to finish your breakfast. You can't wait to do your exercises. You can't wait to put on your clothes. You can't wait to get out. And you can't wait to come home, because the soup is hot.

Dress simply. If you wear a dinner jacket, don't wear anything else on it ... like lunch or dinner.

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.

Retire? I'm going to stay in show business until I'm the only one left

I'd rather be a flop at show business than to be a success at something I didn't like.

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.

If you stay in the business long enough and get to be old enough, you get to be new again.
