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
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
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
The ordinary American - as far as I can tell - knows so much less than he did fifty years ago and has such poor work habits compared with fifty years ago that the average multiplicand of knowledge/capabilities is a much smaller number than it was in 1961.
Ben Stein
It's a lot better to hope than not to.

Ben Stein
Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will.
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 am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against.
Ben Stein
I am so in love with just lying in bed listening to Mozart.
Ben Stein
Hollywood is largely about scammers and con men. It was my main livelihood for about 25 years, and the scams were beautiful and ugly, cheap and expensive, but, wow, were there a lot of scammers.
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'm out and about meeting people all day long. And I'm very friendly I talk to just about everybody I meet.
Ben Stein
You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.
Ben Stein
It's really amazing that in the age of unbelief, as a smart man called it, there isn't even more fraud. After all, with no God, there's no one to ever call you to account, and no accounting at all if you can get away with it.
Ben Stein
You cannot win if you're not at the table. You have to be where the action is.
