Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.
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.
The America that we knew as the smartest place on the planet is gone with the wind.
Israel is our strongest, most reliable ally in the Middle East. Of course, we're their most reliable ally, too.
I always assumed scientists were free to ask any question, pursue any line of inquiry without fear or reprisal.
We in the media are just people with all of people's faults.
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.
Now, although my life is still pleasant, the days of easy money are over.
So, 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.
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.
I am scared of running out of money.
Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.
Trying to pick individual stocks is a trap. I can't do it. Warren Buffett can, but hardly anyone else can beat the indexes over a long period of time.
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.
Darwinism doesn't explain where gravity comes from. It doesn't explain where thermodynamics comes from. It doesn't explain where the laws of physics come from. It doesn't explain where matter came from.
People ask how I can be a conservative and still want higher taxes. It makes my head spin, and I guess it shows how old I am. But I thought that conservatives were supposed to like balanced budgets. I thought it was the conservative position to not leave heavy indebtedness to our grandchildren.
When I seemed to be irritable or sad, my father would quote the learned Dr. Knight, and then say, 'Just go to sleep.' Like all smart aleck kids, I thought the advice was silly. But as I've grown older, I've realized just how smart Knight was.
This is my life. I love it.
