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.

More quotes by Bill Cosby
I know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn't have to answer to innuendos.
Bill Cosby
Man can not live by bread alone ... he must have peanut butter.
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
Even though your kids will consistently do the exact opposite of what you're telling them to do, you have to keep loving them just as much.
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

Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby
I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, mid-life for an elephant, and ancient for a quarter-miler, whose son now says, Dad, I just can't run the quarter with you anymore, unless I bring something to read.
Bill Cosby
Fatherhood is helping your children learn English as a foreign language.
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
And to those people with no children but who think they'd like to have them some day to fulfill their lives. Remember: With fulfillment comes responsibility.
Bill Cosby
Violence won't solve a thing. It makes it more challenging to solve, though.
Bill Cosby
I'm going out... because I deserve to go out! And I'm going to get drunk... because I deserve to get drunk! And get out of my way!
Bill Cosby
Sex education may be a good idea in the schools, but I don't believe the kids should be given homework.
Bill Cosby
I want all this loud profanity in the street stopped. I want people to think about choices.
Bill Cosby
Meadowlark and I share a common vision of bringing joy and laughter to others.
Bill Cosby
Most fathers and... Mothers. Only your grandmother and Ghengis Khan know how to do it.
