More quotes by Bear Grylls
I'm probably going to be the scruffiest Chief Scout you've ever had and my health and safety policy is non-existent.
Bear Grylls
I look back and understand the world a bit better and know how competitive it is .
Bear Grylls
One thing I know for sure: it is only by doing what we fear that we can ever truly learn to be brave.
Bear Grylls
Accidents on big mountains happen when people's ambitions cloud their good judgment. Good climbing is about climbing with heart and with instinct, not ambition and pride.
Bear Grylls
Sometimes it's hard for us to believe, really believe, that God cares and wants good things for us and doesn't just want us to go off and give everything up and become missionaries in Burundi.
Bear Grylls
All worthwhile journeys have big obstacles. It's the way of the world. The rewards go to those who can push through those trying moments and still manage to keep a smile on their face.
Bear Grylls
Weather can kill you so fast. The first priority of survival is getting protection from the extreme weather.
Bear Grylls
Success almost always follows great attitude. The two attract each other!
Bear Grylls
I don't like expeditions where it is a total lottery whether you live or die. You have to keep those sort of good luck cards for rare occasions!
Bear Grylls
You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.
Bear Grylls
The hardest thing about my job isn't the snake bites or the crocodiles, it's being away from my children. I have a really religious satellite phone call every day back to the boys, wherever we are, whatever time zone, to say goodnight.
Bear Grylls
Eating any of these things, goat testicles or what have you, isn't going to be nice, but you get into that zone, you become focussed and you do what you need to do. It's all about one thing: coming home in one piece.
Bear Grylls
Unless you have shelter, fire is going to be very hard and if you have fire, but no water, you're going to die. They're all super important.
Bear Grylls
Time and experience have taught me that fame and money very rarely go to the worthy, by the way - hence we shouldn't ever be too impressed by either of those impostors. Value folk for who they are, how they live and what they give - that's a much better benchmark.
Bear Grylls
I always had a really natural faith as a kid. Where I knew God existed and it felt very free and pretty wild and natural, and it wasn't religious.
Bear Grylls
But the wild is unpredictable, stuff does happen, and it's always when you're least expecting it.
Bear Grylls
A friend once asked me what qualities were needed for SAS. I would say to be self-motivated and resilient to be calm, yet have the ability to smile when it is grim to be unflappable, be able to react fast and to have an ‘improvise, adapt and overcome’ mentality.

If you risk nothing you gain nothing

I do see a lot of the hard end of ecology, and my feeling is that we live on a super-exciting planet but a super-fragile one.
Bear Grylls
I have held healthy respects of bears along with assorted crocodiles, snakes and lots of other animals. You know, bears are dangerous, you have to be super careful.
