Sleep makes people calmer, more alert, less fearful - just plain happier, or so I see around me and in me. I am sure that if this great nation were to concentrate on getting more sleep, we would be a happier, more confident people, and that by itself would be a major achievement.

You can do what you think you can do and you cannot do what you think you cannot
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.

If there is no God, why bother to tell the truth? Why not steal?
Ben Stein
My pals, such as they are, in Hollywood, ask me why I love to travel to D.C. so much, why it's a vacation destination for me. I say, 'Because I sometimes have perfect days there.'
Ben Stein
I mean it used to be, there was a time … when lynchings of African Americans were not that incredibly rare. Now the lynchings are the police and it's just an outrage.

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.
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
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.
