Bill Cosby
We are the only animals that let our kids come back home.
Bill Cosby

I can get into their heads through their ears and through their eyes. Only through this total communication can I really achieve what I'm trying to do.
Bill Cosby
A child who is disciplined will be more obedient and also more organized as a student.
