My best advice: Fall in love with what you do for a living.

Love is a lot like a backache. It doesn't show up on x-rays, but you know it's there.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Love is often felt deeply even if it can't be easily seen or measured.
This quote by George Burns highlights the intangible nature of love, suggesting that while it may not be visible or quantifiable like a physical ailment, its presence is undeniably felt. Just as a backache can cause discomfort without showing clear signs, love can affect us profoundly without necessarily being evident to others.
