„Gdyby wszyscy politycy mówili jedynie o sprawach, na których się znają, byłoby o wiele ciszej na świecie.”

„Czas leci jak strzała, owoc leci jak banan.”

„Pochowajcie mnie na Marilyn Monroe.”

„Uważam, że telewizja jest bardzo pouczająca. Za każdym razem, kiedy ktoś włącza telewizor, ja wychodzę do innego pokoju i czytam dobrą książkę.”

“Come on in girls, and leave all hope behind.”

“You know you haven't stopped talking since I came here? You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle.”

“Everyone must believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer”

“Years ago, I tried to top everybody, but I don't anymore. I realized it was killing conversation. When you're always trying for a topper you aren't really listening. It ruins communication.”

“I love my cigar too, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while.”

“That's bad luck: three on a midget.”

“You're a great brother. You give us a heart attack worrying about your heart attack, which you didn't even have the decency to have!”

“Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.”

“I don't know. When I was born there was a nurse taking care of me."
"What's the matter? Couldn't the nurse take care of herself?" "Sure she could. I just found that out too late.”

“Even the intellectual crowd will have none of me. Physically, I look like one of them. Graying at the temples, I walk with a slight limp and wear thick glasses.”

“I could dance with you till the cows come home. Better still, I'll dance with the cows and you come home."
Groucho Marx was never one to pass up an opportunity for a play on words and this occurs in his dialogue of the 1933 film Duck Soup:”

“I have had a wonderful time but this wasn't it.”

“My experience is that people are most likely to listen to reason when in bed.”

“I did a bond tour during the Second World War… We were raising money, and we played Boston and Philadelphia and most of the big cities. And we got to Minneapolis. There wasn't any big theater to play there, so we did our show in a railroad station. Then I told the audience that I knew a girl in Minneapolis. She was also known in St. Paul, she used to come over to visit me. She was known as "The Tail Of Two Cities."”

“To write an autobiography of Groucho Marx would be as asinine as to read an autobiography of Groucho Marx.”

“I got $25 from Reader's Digest last week for something I never said. I get credit all the time for things I never said. You know that line in You Bet Your Life? The guy says he has seventeen kids and I say: "I smoke a cigar, but I take it out of my mouth occasionally?"”

“Be open minded, but not so open minded that your brains fall out.”

“I sent the club a wire stating, "PLEASE ACCEPT MY RESIGNATION. I DON'T WANT TO BELONG TO ANY CLUB THAT WILL ACCEPT PEOPLE LIKE ME AS A MEMBER."”
