More quotes by Bill Cosby
I am not afraid of crashing, my secret is . . . just before we hit the ground, I jump as high as I can.
Bill Cosby
God has a sense of humor though and he must see funny things in us. He must also have some love. We're still here and there are still great things that go on. There are great doctors who discover how to separate twins and how to put together a human being to walk again after it's said he won't. Those are all there as signs.
Bill Cosby
I am certainly not an authority on love because there are no authorities on love, just those who've had luck with it and those who haven't.
Bill Cosby
You are more important to yourself than you think you are.
Bill Cosby
I don't have a clue about the way to achievement, however the way to disappointment is attempting to please everyone.
Bill Cosby
Grandparents are God's gifts to children.
Bill Cosby
A father has to do everything in his power to keep a tight ship, even though he knows the crew would like to send him away in a dinghy.
Bill Cosby
A grandchild is God's reward for raising a child.
Bill Cosby
You are not going to 'go forth.' You are going to take that damn hat off and you're going to get a job.
Bill Cosby
Brown versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.
Bill Cosby
A new father quickly learns that his child invariably comes to the bathroom at precisely the times when he's in there, as if he needed company. The only way for this father to be certain of bathroom privacy is to shave at the gas station.
Bill Cosby
Ours is a youth culture, and like a golf tournament, we honor only low scores.
Bill Cosby
The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it.
Bill Cosby
All around the United States of America - in the cities and the counties - our public education is suffering and has been suffering. Cuts, cuts, cuts.
Bill Cosby
Have you ever had a cookie? Then you won't get any here either.
Bill Cosby
My father wanted me to play pro football, and he didn't like the fact that I'd left school. And he said, It takes a man to play football. And any fool can go up on the stage and make an ass of himself.
Bill Cosby
Parents are not interested in justice, they're interested in peace and quiet.
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
When I decided that I wanted to go to college, I wanted to be a school teacher for 7th and 8th grade boys because I felt that was an important time for them. I had gone astray at that point in my life and really wanted to help keep them from making the same mistake I had made.
Bill Cosby
As I have discovered by examining my past, I started out as a child. Coincidentally, so did my brother. My mother did not put all her eggs in one basket, so to speak: she gave me a younger brother named Russell, who taught me what was meant by 'survival of the fittest.'
