Groucho Marx famous quotes and sayings.
Groucho Marx's true wisdom was to live life everyday to the fullest and to not take yourself that seriously. He was the master of the one liner and his wit was legendary.
Julius Henry Marx (October 2, 1890 - August 19, 1977), known professionally as Groucho Marx, was an American writer, comedian, stage, film and television star. He was known as a master of quick wit and is widely considered one of the best comedians of the modern era. His rapid-fire, often impromptu delivery of innuendo-laden patter earned him many admirers and imitators.
He made 13 feature films with his siblings the Marx Brothers, of whom he was the third-born. He also had a successful solo career, most notably as the host of the radio and television game show You Bet Your Life.
His distinctive appearance, carried over from his days in vaudeville, included quirks such as an exaggerated stooped posture, glasses, cigar, and a thick greasepaint mustache and eyebrows. These exaggerated features resulted in the creation of one of the world's most ubiquitous and recognizable novelty disguises, known as Groucho glasses: a one-piece mask consisting of horn-rimmed glasses, large plastic nose, bushy eyebrows and mustache.
Here are some of his famous and not so famous quotes and wisdom.

Most of these are hilarious, however the one at 3:35 is one I take to hard and feel is a good real philosophy to live by. :)
Love also the music. Can You tell me please where You got it?I´m looking for it for a long time.

Groucho Marx: God Bless Him; he should have been elected as the President of the United States of America - FOREVER!!

What ? no comments in over 3 years... how easily they forget.
Carl Pen , I haven't forgotten. It's just that I've been so horny the crack of dawn isn't safe!
The joke on the "dead or watch stopped" was in I think when he was making fun of doctors in one movie ( when they take the pulse with a watch). No matter what he says and whether you understand it at first I bet you laughed the when he says it.
God. If I could at least be half as clever!
Groucho would say if you were half as funny you would only get paid half as much
Now that's clever
@daveindurham2701 Its from the movie ADay At The Races, he was taking Harpo's pulse.
If you stop the video in the middle, the words fall back down.
He never said "how it got into pajamas I'll never know". It was "how it got into my pajamas I don't know". He never said 'never'.
Two of these were attributed to Oscar Wilde!
I was told the comment: "Who're ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes?" Was by Red Skelton, when his wife said she saw him fondling one of the dancers on his show. She said "I saw you with my own eyes!" and he replied....
he was a GREAT ad-libber, but virtually all of these were written for him. Doesn't make them any less funny...
Many of his best lines were written by S.J. Perelman---which, as you say, doesn't at all detract from Groucho's genius. My all-time favourite (hard to choose from among so many) is "Let us lodge with my fleas in the hills - - - I mean flee to my lodge in the hills!"
What you don't see is being funny is not about the writers it's timing and a lot of banter that triggers a response being a scouser I know we laugh at ourselves but funny is universal and that is what makes groucho so special a legend if there ever was one xxxxxxxxx
@daveindurham2701 I believe he was taking someones pulse
QUE BUENA MISIC
Yes, and he liked to walk in the house without any clothes.
AND LOOK OUT THE WINDOW?
I love, simply LOVE Groucho, but many of these lines attributed to him were written for him by Screenwriters or people like SJ Perelman. But you go, Marxophiles!!!
Women should be obscene and not heard. LOL. Give me two beers. My friend here will take two too.
