More quotes by Ben Stein
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.

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.

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.

I don't believe the most successful people are the ones who got the best grades, got into the best schools, or made the most money.

Life lived to help others is the only life that matters.

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.

Men and women succeed because they find a field of endeavor that matches their interests and abilities.

Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.

There's no evidence whatsoever that Darwin had anything useful to say or anything to say period about how life began or how the universe began or how gravity began or how physics began or fluid motion or how thermodynamics began. He had nothing to say about that whatsoever.

I think it's criminal how little people in the military are paid. These are people out risking their lives, taken away from their families for long periods of time. I think they should be paid dramatically more than they're paid.

Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will.

You cannot win if you're not at the table. You have to be where the action is.

Wow, bad news. Mr. Obama now hates Israel because the Israelis want to build 1,600 apartments in their own capital city, Jerusalem. Russia hates Israel, too. So do the Europeans. So does Ban Ki-moon, a Korean who is secretary-general of the UN.
Ben Stein
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Somewhere there is a map of how it can be done.

I don't like the sound of all the lists he's making.
Ben Stein
If there is no God, why bother to tell the truth? Why not steal?
Ben Stein
Evolutionism as taught by Darwinism has nothing to say about how life originated. Has nothing to say about how the governing principles in the universe, gravity, thermodynamics, motion, how those originated. It's got some gigantic missing pieces.
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.
