More quotes by 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.

I don't think Wall Street people in general are smart. I think that's one of the biggest myths in American lore. They're tough, aggressive, greedy, quick thinking but I don't think they're particularly smart at all.

The scientific community says that if you even mention God as causes of anything scientific, you're gone.
Ben Stein
I agree that there are some bad apples on Wall Street. I spent about ten years exposing corporate and financial fraud for 'Barron's' magazine and I found a lot to write about.

My feeling is that Darwinism is only at best a partial solution, and an extremely dangerous partial solution. I would say, based on the little I know, Darwinism explains microevolution within species quite well. As to its broader consequence and implications, I don't think it explains individual species evolution at all well.
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
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
If you can't stand the heat, don't go to Cancun in the summer.
