When the child is twelve, your wife buys her a splendidly silly article of clothing called a training bra. To train what? I never had a training jock. And believe me, when I played football, I could have used a training jock more than any twelve-year-old needs a training bra.

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

This happened to the people. The Constitution says of the people, by the people, for the people... but the people who got the office, got into office and forgot about the people.

It's painful, but we can't heal ourselves unless we cleanse the wounds.
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.

These people marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education and now we've got these knuckleheads walking round.

Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His kids.
