More quotes by 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
We go out of our way to make people so different,... to punish them because of color, because of sex, because of size, and the game starts.
Bill Cosby
The secret of success is to be like a duck, Smooth and unruffled on top, But paddling furiously underneath.
Bill Cosby
The essence of childhood, of course, is play.
Bill Cosby
Education happens to be something that all people, all cultures, need to embrace. Math, science, the words of the world. To be able to speak and be able to have clarity and to be able to think. Those are the greatest of gifts.
Bill Cosby
I want all this loud profanity in the street stopped. I want people to think about choices.
Bill Cosby
One of the great mistakes that can be made by a man of my age is to get involved in athletic competition with children-unless, of course, they are under six. And even then, stay away from hide-and-seek.
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
And of course, when you see your brother in the toilet bowl...there's a little voice that say, 'I wonder where he would go...'...if it hadn't been for his head.
Bill Cosby
College was a wonderful time - except, of course, when it was trying to teach you things.
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
The mother may be doing ninety percent of the disciplining, but the father still must have a full-time acceptance of all the children. He never must say, Get these kids out of here I'm trying to watch TV. If he ever does start saying this, he is liable to see one of his kids on the six o'clock news.
Bill Cosby
I know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn't have to answer to innuendos.
Bill Cosby
We are the only animals that let our kids come back home.
Bill Cosby
On many young actors that don't give their parents proper credit: I'm still waiting for some actor to win, say, an Oscar... and deliver the following acceptance speech: I would like to thank my parents, first of all, for letting me live.
Bill Cosby
You are more important to yourself than you think you are.
Bill Cosby
Let me say this: I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that, you have to go in with a neutral mind.
Bill Cosby
It is a warning, Godspeed. It means you are no longer welcome here at these prices.
Bill Cosby
The first time I came across the birds and the bees in actual flight, I couldn't identify the formation.
Bill Cosby
Laughter brings out the child in all of us.
