Quotable Quotes: Groucho Marx

You’re probably too young to have seen Groucho Marx on a TV game show called You Bet Your Life, but maybe you’ve rented some of his movies after hearing about him. If you haven’t, then I hope today’s post motivates to do so.

Marx was a brilliant comedian and offered great commentary on his times; as funny today as he was then.

“Humor is reason gone mad.” (An insight that give us a perfect reason to laugh as much and as often as possible.)

“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” (If anything, TV has gone downhill since this comment.)

“Oh, I know it’s a penny here and a penny there, but look at me. I worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty.” (Just think what he could have done with a credit card!)

“Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms.” (As has been proved over and over throughout history—and especially during the last eight years.)

“Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them… well, I have others.” (Sounds like the honchos on Wall Street.)

Now go rent a Marx Brothers movie and laugh you’re a** off.
