About This Quote

In the Bible, God described something he created as “very good.” But in this quote by Groucho Marx, he describes the creation of humans as somewhat overestimated. This has a double meaning. First, it means that people have a tendency to think they are better or more important than they actually are. Second, it means that people have a tendency to think they are smarter than they actually are. In other words, if God made us “good” in some way, we tend to put ourselves down in order to feel good about ourselves.
