BEN STEINThere is no sudden leap into the stratosphere… There is only advancing step by step, slowly and tortuously, up the pyramid toward your goals.
BEN STEINIt doesn’t bother me a bit when people say, ‘Merry Christmas’ to me. I don’t think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it.
BEN STEINSo, who in the media is without sin among us? I am in the media and I am a major league sinner. I don’t know anyone except my wife who isn’t a big time sinner.
BEN STEINI am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated against.
BEN STEINHollywood 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.
BEN STEINI cannot tell you … how to be rich. But I can tell you how to feel rich, which is far better, let me tell you firsthand, than being rich. Be grateful… It is the only totally reliable get rich quick scheme.

BEN STEINI tell you why I don’t think I will ever vote for a Democrat, if I may say so. Because for me, the number one issue is right to life, and I don’t think the Democrats are very good on the right-to-life issue.
BEN STEINEvery soul deserves a shot at a Cadillac, but not everyone should be guaranteed a Cadillac.
BEN STEINIt’s a lot better to hope than not to.
BEN STEINI 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 STEINI am scared of running out of money.
BEN STEINIsrael being condemned by the EU, which 66 years ago watched with glee as its Jews were being mass murdered. That is pretty rich.
BEN STEINI hope it won’t come as a surprise to anyone that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys.
