More quotes by Bear Grylls
Textbook survival says stay still, don't take any chances, wait for rescue. That's a boring TV show. My thing was always, Listen, shoelace, dead squirrel and no other way down this rock face. You can do this!
Bear Grylls
I had many opportunities to get behind products in the past, and I was always careful to evaluate all of them. I will not put my name to shoddy items.
Bear Grylls
But the wild is unpredictable, stuff does happen, and it's always when you're least expecting it.
Bear Grylls
I think viewers quite like it when I'm suffering or eating or drinking something horrible or really up against it in some quicksand or whatever.
Bear Grylls
Nobody wants to end up super rich and famous - but divorced. I'm always clear on that and try to stay on the right side of the line.
Bear Grylls
You're not human if you don't feel fear. But I've learnt to treat fear as an emotion that sharpens me. It's there to give me that edge for what I have to do.
Bear Grylls
Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.

Life is an adventure that is best lived boldly

I said no to the Born Survivor producer three times because I've never aspired to be a TV man.
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
Textbook survival tells you to stay put. Stop. Wait for rescue. Don't take any risks. But there'd been a whole host of survival shows like that and I didn't really want to do that.
Bear Grylls
Without risk, there can be no growth.
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
I love home cooking, and I'm not a great one for fast food.
Bear Grylls
There's no magic to running far or climbing Everest. Endurance is mental strength. It's all about heart.
Bear Grylls
I've had so many injuries in my life that it's ridiculous.
Bear Grylls
The lesson is, the rewards in life don't always go to the biggest, or the bravest, or the smartest. The rewards go to the dogged and when your going though hell, to the person who just keeps going.
Bear Grylls
What I've learned over the years is that the path less traveled always makes for a more interesting journey. If you simply do what everyone else is doing, how can you ever expect to excel and create something wonderful and unique in your life?
Bear Grylls
Sometimes an ember is all we need.
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.
