The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra.

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
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
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.
Bear Grylls
Life is an adventure that is best lived boldly
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
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
Some of the greatest survivors have been women. Look at the courage so many women have shown after surviving earthquakes in the rubble for days on end.
Bear Grylls
I loved climbing because of the freedom, and having time and space. I remember coming off Everest for the last time, thinking of Dad and wishing that he could have seen what I saw. He would have loved it.
Bear Grylls
I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.
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
Adventure should be 80 percent 'I think this is manageable,' but it's good to have that last 20 percent where you're right outside your comfort zone. Still safe, but outside your comfort zone.
Bear Grylls
But the wild is unpredictable, stuff does happen, and it's always when you're least expecting it.
Bear Grylls
Sometimes an ember is all we need.
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
Above all, I feel a quiet pride that for the rest of my days I can look at myself in the mirror and know that once upon a time I was good enough. Good enough to call myself a member of the SAS. Some things don’t have a price tag.
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
Always keep the big picture in mind- you are greatly loved by Jesus and your job is to love Him and others in return. The rest is detail.
Bear Grylls
I didn't want to do eight seasons of How To Build A Fire. The intention was to make something fun and dynamic and about self rescue, not about whittling.
Bear Grylls
My best life lessons and education didn't come from a classroom - they've come from the wild. How you act in the big moments, the ones that challenge you, scare you, tempt you, and force you to make the right decisions, is what defines you.
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.
