Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain are the consensus all-time champions of the witty quote, with Groucho Marx, Dorothy Parker, and P.G. Wodehouse close behind. Among modern comedians, Mitch Hedberg, Steven Wright, and Ellen DeGeneres wrote some of the most-quoted one-liners ever.

Can I share these funny quotes on social media?
