Bill Cosby's quotes

[on his murdered son, Ennis] He was my hero.
The problem is that your daughter has given her heart to a 15-year-old boy, and a 15-year-old boy does not yet qualify as a human being.
Gray hair is God's graffiti.
A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones who need the advice.
Don't worry about senility--when it hits you, you won't know it.
Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come home.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone.
Because of my father, I thought my name was Jesus Christ. My brother Russell thought that his name was Dammit.
Kids will spend $500 on sneakers but won't spend $200 on "Hooked-on-Phonics".
[on The Cosby Show (1984)] I wanted to give the house back to the parents.
No parent must ever say, "Get the kids out of here, I'm trying to watch TV." The father who does start saying this is likely to see one of his children on the 6:00 news.
[commenting that many young actors don't give their parents proper credit] I'm still waiting for some actor to win, say, an Oscar . . . and deliver the following acceptance speech: "I would like to thank my parents, first of all, for letting me live."
What best defines a child is the total inability to receive information from anything not plugged in.
If you're a parent, the five worst words you can say to your children are, "When I was your age . . . " You were NEVER their age. You were older in the womb.
I can tell you, from experience, that whoever said "Children and fools cannot lie" was one or the other himself. There's only one way to guarantee that your children are telling the truth: limit your questions to the names of their schools.
Phil Woods said the following: Death is the last thing he wants to do. Don't worry about it! You don't worry about what's going to be the last thing. You know you're going to be dead. So do I. And if I go before you, am I worried? No. Jealous? Yeah.
My mother was an authority on pigsties. She would look at my room and say, 'This is the worst pigsty I've ever seen'.
The past is a ghost, the future is a dream, and all we ever have is now.
I keep telling myself, the older I get, the luckier I am.
