I want to be the first. If they'd let me go to the moon, I'd crawl all the way to Cape Kennedy just to do it. I'd like to go to the moon, but I don't want to be the second man to go there.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
There are a lot of myths about my injuries. They say I have broken every bone in my body. Not true. But I have broken 35 bones. I had surgery 14 times to pin and plate. I shattered my pelvis. I forget all of the things that have broke.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
You can be famous for a lot of things. You can be a Nobel-prize winner. You can be the fattest guy in the world.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
In the old days they, the promoters, wanted more and more from me. They wanted me to jump or spill my blood and break my bones. Every time they wanted me to jump further, and further, and further. Hell, they thought my bike had wings.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I play golf five days a week. I find that if I play seven days a week, I get stale.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I don't know what in the world happened. I don't know if it was the power of the prayer or God himself, but it just reached out, either while I was driving or walking down the sidewalk or sleeping, and it just - the power of God in Jesus just grabbed me... All of a sudden, I just believed in Jesus Christ. I did, I believed in him!
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I really think we should pass a law in every state, I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
Unless we do things in this country to slow down our population, slow down our birth control, provide better water for people, provide power for people, we're gonna find out that the next wars are not going to be fought over diamonds, gold and political things.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
My own judgment of how the world is gonna end is that there will be a country led by a madman that will build a nuclear bomb with so much force, so much power, that it will be dropped somewhere on the face of this earth and that the earth will lose its place.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I am not, never have been, and never will be a politician. But I want to tell you the United States has always been proud of having the support of the United Kingdom, of keeping Britain in Europe. We need Britain in Europe.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I foresee the Chinese ruling the world. What are you going to do to stop it? No president of the United States will ever have enough power to stop the Chinese when they want to take over the world.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I am a guy who is first of all a businessman. I'm not a stunt man. I'm not a daredevil. I'm - I'm an explorer.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
Titanic Thompson and Amarillo Slim would have run from a game with Marty Stanovich. Marty could really play, and he didn't cheat.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I can still crack a safe with one hand tied behind my back. I'm not proud of it. But I was always against society.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I have my tombstone already. A tombstone company in the East gave it to me when I jumped Snake Canyon. My plot is in Montana.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
The finest compliment you can pay a man is that his word was as good as gold.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
The most important thing in life is, if you have a dream, I mean a real good dream, follow it.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
You can't say you're going to jump the Grand Canyon and then jump some other canyon.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
If you don't know about pain and trouble, you're in sad shape. They make you appreciate life.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
If you fall during your life, it doesn't matter. You're never a failure as long as you try to get up.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I guess I thought I was Elvis Presley but I'll tell ya something. All Elvis did was stand on a stage and play a guitar. He never fell off on that pavement at no 80 mph.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
You are the master of your own ship, pal. There are lots of people who fall into troubled waters and don't have the guts or the knowledge or the ability to make it to shore. They have nobody to blame but themselves.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I learned one thing from jumping motorcycles that was of great value on the golf course, the putting green especially: Whatever you do, don't come up short.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
Riding a motorcycle on today's highways, you have to ride in a very defensive manner. You have to be a good rider and you have to have both hands and both feet on the controls at all times.
