More quotes by Bear Grylls
You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.
Bear Grylls
Many people find it hard to understand what it is about a mountain that draws men and women to risk their lives on her freezing, icy faces - all for a chance at that single, solitary moment on the top. It can be hard to explain. But I also relate to the quote that says, Iif you have to ask, you will never understand.
Bear Grylls
I love home cooking, and I'm not a great one for fast food.
Bear Grylls
A wise man knows learn from others, never get complacent and know where the classic old dangers come from.
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
My favorite moments? Where it's all going swimmingly, the sun's out and I've got a fire going and a nice snake on the barbecue.
Bear Grylls
The line between life or death is determined by what we are willing to do.
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
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
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
I've seen extreme bravery from the least likely of people. Life is about the moments when it's all gone wrong. That's when we define ourselves.
Bear Grylls
I've fallen down crevasses, been bitten by snakes, been knocked unconscious, had various limbs broken and once, a heavy camera came plunging down which very nearly decapitated me.
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
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
Make a little time to be quiet by yourself every day and just be.
Bear Grylls
For me, my training is a key part of my work as so often my life has depended on being able to move fast and haul myself up and out of something fast!
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
Success almost always follows great attitude. The two attract each other!
Bear Grylls
You can't live someone else's expectations in life. It's a recipe for disaster.
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
