Any man today who returns from work, sinks into a chair, and calls for his pipe is a man with an appetite for danger.

More quotes by Bill Cosby
Violence won't solve a thing. It makes it more challenging to solve, though.
Bill Cosby
Racial humor was about 35% of my act when I first started. But I realized that it was a crutch. What brought it home was when another comedian said to me, 'If you changed color tomorrow, you wouldn't have any material.' He meant it as a put-down, but I took it as a challenge.
Bill Cosby
I wasn't always black... there was this freckle, and it got bigger and bigger.
Bill Cosby
Mediocre people are the most dangerous people in the world.
Bill Cosby
The beautiful thing about older people is their ability to cut the fat off of conversation. When they talk, they don't go on forever and ever. They say what they have to say, and that's it. That was my grand dad. Some of the things he said stunned me, but his words were logical. I'll never forget them.
Bill Cosby
Ours is a youth culture, and like a golf tournament, we honor only low scores.
Bill Cosby
The first-born in every family is always dreaming for an imaginary older brother or sister who will look out for them.
Bill Cosby
If you have a question about anything, the answer can be found in a book somewhere in the library.
Bill Cosby
I don't think you can bring the races together by joking about the differences between them. I'd rather talk about the similarities, about what's universal in their experiences.
Bill Cosby
Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.
Bill Cosby
Today's parents grew up with the silly notion that music was meant to be heard.
Bill Cosby
Is the glass half full, or half empty? It depends on whether you're pouring, or drinking.
Bill Cosby
The heart of marriage is memories.
Bill Cosby
Zip zop wop boopity bop.
Bill Cosby
I can't even talk the way these people talk. 'Why you ain't?' 'Where you is?' Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.
Bill Cosby
The dentist drills some more and you hear him make a mistake. And to cover it up, they all say the same thing: Okay, rinse.
Bill Cosby
Well, I really don't know what the secret of success is but I can tell you that the secret of failure is to try to please everyone.
Bill Cosby
The childless experts on child raising also bring tears of laughter to my eyes when they say, I love children because they're so honest. There is not an agent in the CIA or the KGB who knows how to conceal the theft of food, how to fake being asleep, or how to forge a parent's signature like a child.
Bill Cosby
Laughter brings out the child in all of us.
Bill Cosby
If you listen carefully to what a child is saying to you, you'll see that he has a point to make. So I listen. And I answer them just as seriously as possible. And if I don't know the answer, I'll tell them I don't know.
Bill Cosby
