Groucho Marx is usually thought about for his biting humor. This month's quote is a little more on the thoughtful side. It even sounds like something a person might hear from a mental health provider:
Each morning when I open my eyes, I say to myself: "I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead; tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." (Attributed to Groucho in 1972 by Rufus W. Gosnell, an Aiken, SC, newspaperman.)
As a long-time fan of Groucho Marx, I have a lot of mentions of him throughout this blog. Over time, I've read several books about him and the Marx Brothers. Their real lives were touched by pathos. On what was originally the next month's post on this blog, there is an update with a biopic on Julus Henry Marx, aka "Groucho."
