Brief Biography

Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx (October 2, 1890 - August 19, 1977) was an American comedian and film and television star. He is known as a master of quick wit and widely considered one of the best comedians of the modern era. 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. - Wikipedia

                                                  A physician's physiology has much the same relation to his power of healing as a cleric's divinity has to his power of influencing conduct.

                                                    Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him.

                                                        As a child my family's menu consisted of two choices: take it or leave it.
