More quotes by Ben Stein
If you can't stand the heat, don't go to Cancun in the summer.
Ben Stein
Academic freedom is being lost by a great many people who dare to challenge Darwinism. That's a terrifying situation. That's contrary to the principles of science.
Ben Stein
I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution, and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.
Ben Stein
I have always been very diversified, so I have never suffered a catastrophic loss. I spread my money around the way a large institutional investor does. I use different brokerage firms. I manage some of my accounts myself.
Ben Stein
The banks are not lending, at least from what I see. They were so wild and reckless back in the good times that they got burned terribly.
Ben Stein
I am so used to having a comfortable life. What will it be like when I am no longer able to just buy anything I want?
Ben Stein
Nothing happens by itself... it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions.
Ben Stein
The successful people of this world take life as it comes. They just go out and deal with the world as it is.
Ben Stein
Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
Ben Stein
I think, there are many people who are much smarter than I am, and many, many, many who are much harder-working than I am, but in terms of the range of my activities, they're unique.
Ben Stein
I'm not a Mensa member. I have no idea where that rumor came from. I never have been, and I doubt if I ever will be.
Ben Stein
The education system should teach us about money it's an incredibly big subject. I run into people all the time that don't have the first clue of what they should do about money.
Ben Stein
Science leads you to killing people.
Ben Stein
Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.
Ben Stein
I'd say the main way people get into terrible financial trouble is just to spend too much money relative to their income, and that is an endemic problem in the United States of America, and that's the kind of thing that should be taught about in schools.
Ben Stein
It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated... it is finished when it surrenders.
Ben Stein
Sleep more at night. If it's allowed at work or home, take a nap in the afternoon. You'll be amazed at how much better you'll feel.
Ben Stein
I was a trial lawyer. At the same time, I was a teacher. I taught about the political and social content of film for American University. Then I left and became a teacher at the University of California at Santa Cruz. I taught about the political and social content of film, but I also taught a course in law for undergraduates.
Ben Stein
It isn't the rich people's fault that poor people are poor. Poor people who get an education and work hard in this country will stop being poor. That should be the goal for all poor people everywhere.
Ben Stein
I thought that all of the sacrifices and blessings of the whole history of mankind have devolved upon me. Thank you, God.
