More quotes by 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
I guess the real reason that my wife and I had children is the same reason that Napoleon had for invading Russia: it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Suddenly, this romantic agony was enriched by a less romantic one: I had to go to the bathroom. Needless to say, I couldn't let her know about this urge, for great lovers never did such things. The answer to Romeo Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? was not In the men's room, Julie.
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
The essence of childhood, of course, is play.
Bill Cosby
My childhood should have taught me lessons for my own fatherhood, but it didn't because parenting can only be learned by people who have no children.
Bill Cosby
I am proud to be an American. Because an American can eat anything on the face of this earth as long as he has two pieces of bread.

My father established our relationship when I was seven years old. He looked at me and said, “You know, I brought you in this world, and I can take you out. And it don't make no difference to me, I'll make another one look just like you.
Bill Cosby
Any husband who says, My wife and I are completely equal partners, is talking about either a law firm or a hand of bridge.
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
Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.
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
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.
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
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
The essence of childhood, of course, is play, which my friends and I did endlessly on streets that we reluctantly shared with traffic.
Bill Cosby
You people are not prepared. You are well educated and you look cute, but that's not going to cut it.
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
Anyone can dabble, but once you've made that commitment, your blood has that particular thing in it, and it's very hard for people to stop you.
Bill Cosby
The serve was invented so that the net could play.
Bill Cosby
