More quotes by Bill Cosby
Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.
Bill Cosby
As a comedian, I can walk out in front of 5000 people and not worry about a thing. Not a thing, believe me. But to stand up a face a camera and crew of maybe 15 guys and get up tight about it - to me that's weird.
Bill Cosby
There is hope for the future because God has a sense of humor and we are funny to God.
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
Every father says the same thing: “Where's your mother?”
Bill Cosby
Immortality is a long shot, I admit. But somebody has to be first.
Bill Cosby
My grandpa didn't believe in hugging and kissing, or saying I love you. His love had to do with the way he treated you. When he said, We're going here, we're going there, he was telling me about life. That was his love for me. My love for him was listening to what he said, keeping out of trouble, doing right, being fair.
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
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
The game of chess. Supposedly men made it up, and it's about war and men and the ravages and the bravery and the genius of commanding and moving pieces and ... No. It's marriage. The Queen moves anywhere she wants.
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
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.
Bill Cosby
If you listen carefully to what a child is saying to you, you'll see that he has a point to make. So I listen. And I answer them just as seriously as possible. And if I don't know the answer, I'll tell them I don't know.
Bill Cosby
We are the only animals that let our kids come back home.
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
I don't have a clue about the way to achievement, however the way to disappointment is attempting to please everyone.
Bill Cosby
Violence won't solve a thing. It makes it more challenging to solve, though.
Bill Cosby
Most fathers and... Mothers. Only your grandmother and Ghengis Khan know how to do it.
Bill Cosby
Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.
Bill Cosby
Parents are people who yell and they yell and they yell and they yell. And you already have the point... and they're still yelling.
Bill Cosby
