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.

More quotes by Bill Cosby
Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.
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.
Bill Cosby
When you introduce competition into the public school system, most studies show that schools start to do better when they are competing for students.
Bill Cosby
In my old neighborhood, a boy stopped playing when he began to lose his pulse. And then he became the referee.
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 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
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
When we look at the settling of America we see a Bible in hand and God. Every Thanksgiving has God and the peacefulness of gratitude. It was important when the Twin Towers were hit and the sorrow with them that the first thing Congress did was sing God Bless America.
Bill Cosby
My wife was a beautiful woman before we had children.
Bill Cosby
What best defines a child is the total inability to receive information from anything not plugged in.
Bill Cosby
I want all this loud profanity in the street stopped. I want people to think about choices.
Bill Cosby
Have you ever had a cookie? Then you won't get any here either.
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
Well, I really don't know what the secret of success is but I can tell you that the secret of failure is to try to please everyone.
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
Violence won't solve a thing. It makes it more challenging to solve, though.
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
After creating the heaven, the earth, the ocean, and the entire animal kingdom, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing He said to them was Don't.
Bill Cosby
The dentist drills some more and you hear him make a mistake. And to cover it up, they all say the same thing: Okay, rinse.
Bill Cosby
I did not want to turn to playing golf because golf is about as much exercise as shuffling cards.
