The sad fact is that spending rises every year, no matter what people want or say they want.

I do all of the grocery shopping in my little family. I buy cheese, of many different kinds, sliced packaged meats and poultry, bagels, immense quantities of eggs, pre-made fried chicken. Milk. Bacon. It is insane how much dairy, deli and bakery stuff I buy.

The scientific community says that if you even mention God as causes of anything scientific, you're gone.
Ben Stein
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 have talent at playing myself. I don't have a very broad range, but at playing myself I am a wizard. It's more than fun it's the best job on Earth.

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.

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.

As Beverly Hills becomes more Iranian-Jewish, it is becoming politically conservative.

What's a good investment? Go home from work early and spend the afternoon throwing a ball around with your son.

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.

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.
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.

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
Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.
Ben Stein
Being a Daddy is priority number one. When you are old and facing oblivion in a nursing home or a hospital or on a golf course in winter, you are not going to wish you had spent more time at the office or making a sales call or watching a show. You will wish you had spent more time with your family.
