  • Groucho Marx (1890-1977), was an iconic American comedian, actor, and writer. As the third of the Marx Brothers, he gained fame for his sharp wit, distinctive mustache, and irreverent humor. The Marx Brothers achieved success in vaudeville, Broadway, and Hollywood, with Groucho as the quick-witted, wisecracking character often delivering memorable one-liners. Groucho's humor was characterized by clever wordplay, satirical commentary, and a unique blend of sarcasm and charm.
    Groucho Marx's enduring legacy lies not only in his comedic brilliance but also in the timeless wisdom encapsulated in his memorable quotes that continue to bring laughter and insight to audiences around the world.

      Might have been groucho, but I recall one quote that said, as I recall, I sent a letter and a photo to the lonely hearts club."..."They sent it back and said they weren't that lonely..." Might have been Rodney Dangerfield though.

    Without giving the source of the quotes (movie, books), attributing them to Groucho is at the very least doubtful. There are a few I recognize from Marx Brothers movies, but about half of them don't sound like him at all. As Abraham Lincoln said, "Don't trust random unsourced quotes on the Internet or the people who post them."

    Groucho was a brilliant comic, who left behind so many wonderful quotes. "What have future generations ever done for us?"
    But the narrator actually managed to make Groucho sound boring. Too bad you couldn't have found original audio of Groucho saying these things, or at least gotten a Groucho impersonator.

If you have no plan to start planning then you do not have, and will not have, a plan and will not begin planning so not having a plan to plan means you don't plan in the future. I'll go away now.
