“I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn’t know.”
— Groucho Marx

Simplified Meaning:
When someone asks you a question, you don't always have to know the answer right away. It's okay to admit that you don't know something. For instance, if your friend asks you how to fix their car and you have no idea, you can simply say, "I don't know." This shows that you're honest and not afraid to admit your limits. People respect when you are truthful rather than pretending to know everything. By saying "I don’t know," you can then take the next step to find out the answer or learn something new. This approach also encourages a mindset of continuous learning and humility in day-to-day interactions.
