Quotes 

• Lamont Sanford : [to Fred, who is building his tower]  When I get back here tonight I expect this thing to be finished.

  Fred G. Sanford : Finished? Son, you cannot put a time limit on creativity. Did Mrs. Bell say, "Hurry up, man, and invent the telephone; I gotta call my mother"? Did Mrs. Edison say, "Hurry up, man, will you get that light bulb fixed, 'cause it's getting dark in here"?

• Fred G. Sanford : [to the scowling Aunt Esther]  Let me tell you somethin', Esther. Every time I see you it makes me wish birth control was retroactive.

• Sandra : [Explaining an abstract sculpture]  What you see here before you is, well, what's inside of the artist.

  Fred G. Sanford : Maybe he needed a physic.

• Lamont Sanford : [Beholding Fred's tower]  This is an ugly mess that you made here, man.

  Fred G. Sanford : You don't know nothin' about judgin' art. You the only one in kindergarten that flunked Clay.
