Quotes by Ben Stein

- 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.
- I love sleeping in a moving car more than sleeping in bed.
- I thought that all of the sacrifices and blessings of the whole history of mankind have devolved upon me. Thank you, God.

- It's amazing what ordinary people can do if they set out without preconceived notions.
- 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.
