The Wisdom Of Bill Cosby

  • Immortality is a long shot, I admit. But somebody has to be first.
  • Let us now set forth one of the fundamental truths about marriage: the wife is in charge.
  • Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older, I begin each day with coffee and obituaries.
  • 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.
  • No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behaviour, and I’m not talking about the kids. Their behaviour is always normal.
  • Old is always fifteen years from now.
  • Parents are not interested in justice, they’re interested in peace and quiet.
  • Poets have said that the reason to have children is to give yourself immortality. Immortality? Now that I have five children, my only hope is that they are all out of the house before I die.
  • Sex education may be a good idea in the schools, but I don’t believe the kids should be given homework.
  • That married couples can live together day after day is a miracle that the Vatican has overlooked.
  • Women don’t want to hear what you think. Women want to hear what they think – in a deeper voice.
  • You know the only people who are always sure about the proper way to raise children? Those who’ve never had any.
  • Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will  carry.
  • Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back  home.
  • Did  you ever see the customers in health – food stores? They are pale, skinny people  who look half-dead. In a steak house, you see robust, ruddy people. They’re  dying, of course, but they look terrific.
  • Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.

    I absolutely LOVE Bill Cosby and quote him often…the one favorite quote of mine…
    “You aren’t really a parent if you only have one child because you always know who did it.”
    That may be paraphrased after all the years…
    just love him.
    Thanks.
    Peace

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
