Milton Berle Quotes

Enjoy the Sidesplitting Humor in These Milton Berle Quotes

By Simran Khurana, About.com

Even before TV became a popular medium of entertainment, Milton Berle earned the tag of "TV star" in the early 40s. Such was the power of his performance that it was rumored that his shows were the biggest reason for a boost in TV sales in those days. As the host of Texaco Star Theatre, Milton Berle contributed many years of showmanship and comedy. Here are some famous Milton Berle quotes.

Ambition
I'd rather be a "could-be", if I cannot be an "are"; because a "could-be" is a "maybe" who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a "has-been" than a "might-have-been", by far; for a "might-have-been" has never "been", but a "has" was once an "are".

Funny
It opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.

Achievements
We owe a lot to Thomas Edison - if it wasn't for him, we'd be watching television by candlelight.

Funny
I know why Superman left Krypton. Earth was the only place he could get steroids!

Marriage
Your marriage is in trouble if your wife says, 'You're only interested in one thing,' and you can't remember what it is.

Evolution
If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?

Funny
Experience is what you have after you've forgotten her name.
