More quotes by Bob Newhart
I've been married forty-five years. I think laughter is the secret.
Bob Newhart
You should have a value system. You can win if you stick with your value system.
Bob Newhart
Laughter gives us distance. It allows us to step back from an event, deal with it and then move on.
Bob Newhart
Well, my career choice made a difference because I never would have met my wife, Jenny. I met her through comedian Buddy Hackett. He set us up on a blind date and then we got married.
Bob Newhart
Humor's a weapon if you want to make it one.
Bob Newhart
I think you should be a child for as long as you can. I have been successful for 74 years being able to do that. Don't rush into adulthood, it isn't all that much fun.
Bob Newhart

Bob Newhart
I think everyone probably starts out sounding like someone else, but gradually you develop your own sound.
Bob Newhart
In today's world, you would call my father mostly unaccessible. I'm not sure that isn't true of most fathers at that time. He went through the Depression. I don't know what that would have done to my psyche.
Bob Newhart
Continuing to do stand-up is always a challenge because the audiences and the environments in which you work very often differ.
Bob Newhart
I didn't need the elf outfit to play an elf I could just play an elf.
Bob Newhart
I think there's a part, just a part of comedians, that is still childlike.
Bob Newhart
I'm most proud of the longevity of my marriage, my kids, and my grandchildren. If you don't have that, you really don't have very much.
Bob Newhart
I am a minimalist. I like saying the most with the least.
Bob Newhart
Marriage and fatherhood heighten the disillusion that we all think we are born handy. We confidently believe that we can fix things around the house, as if it's part of the collective brain that was further enhanced by eighth-grade shop class.
