The saddest thing is when a guy is paying so much attention to the world and everything going by that he can't take the time for his own mother.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I think these shows with the young kids doing these jumps, doing these fantastic back flips, I think they're absolutely great. They did what I never did.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
If I'm out trailriding, I have a favorite motorcycle. Riding on the road, I've got a favorite. If I'm jumping, I have a favorite, and if I'm racing, I have a favorite.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
My failures had a lot to do with my fame. I created Evel Knievel, and then he sort of got away from me.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I recently have had a full hip replacement and a liver transplant, and I'm getting used to the medication.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
You can't forbid children to do things that are available to them at every turn. God told Eve, 'Don't give the apple to Adam,' and look what happened. It's in our nature to want the things we see.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I've always been concerned about kids - not just my own three, but all kids - what kind of an image I'm providing for them, what kind of inspiration. I don't know now. Maybe I'm leading them down the path to self-destruction.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
You'd think a guy who has broken 35 bones in his body would have a high pain threshold, but mine is pretty low. I got hit in the shin with a golf ball once, and it almost brought tears to my eyes. I've had broken bones that didn't hurt as bad.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
There's just no stopping me. I went through life big-bang-banda-boom-bada-boom.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
But you come to a point in your life when you can't pull the trigger anymore.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I'm not only the best-known daredevil on the face of the earth, I'm the oldest.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I know that I'm very lucky to be alive. For 35 or 40 years I've spilt my blood and broke my bones and spent years in hospitals.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
Sometimes I keep a car for only a week or two. I like the newest and the flashiest.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
God made us. He's in charge of everything, right? If He didn't like us, why didn't he change us?
Quote by -Evel Knievel
You know, I had a couple hundred jumps in my career, and I made most of them, but the ones they show over and over are the ones when I crashed.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
People pay a million dollars to be recognized, but nobody cares about them. They cared about me because I did things other men were afraid to do. That's why my fans identified with me.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
When you're mad at someone, it's probably best not to break his arm with a baseball bat.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I thought I was bulletproof or Superman there for a while. I thought I'd never run out of nerve. Never.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
Those extreme-sports kids today are good, but they have it easy. Try falling off of a motorcycle going 70 or 80 miles per hour on asphalt. Believe me, nothing equals it.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I think through education, belief in God, and good engineering, our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did, and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I've been in a treatment center for drinkin'. I stayed for two days, then escaped.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I like to help kids, work with kids in detention homes. Don't tell a kid what's right and wrong. He knows what's right and wrong. Find out what his attitude and his aptitude are; try to help him where he wants to go.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
Prison was tough on me. I saw people in prison that made me ashamed I was a human being. Some make Qaddafi and Idi Amin look like Sunday-school teachers.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
Kids come up to me all the time and say, 'Once I was going through a really bad time, and I saw you crash and get up, and it inspired me.'
Quote by -Evel Knievel
If there is a heaven, I don't know anything else I can do to get there - and neither do you.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
It's easy to be famous today. People pay a million dollars to be recognized, but nobody cares about them. They cared about me because I did things other men were afraid to do. That's why my fans identified with me. They were mostly working-class.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
If you look at the Bible almost everything that was predicted, maybe everything, has come to pass.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
My grandpa got me a set of Wilson clubs, Sam Snead models, when I was 12. Many years later, when I'd become well known, I got to know Sam, and we played a lot of golf together.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
This is a year and a few months after the transplant. Before I had it my doctors told me that it would be the biggest thing that I ever had to face and believe me, when they take your liver out of ya and put another one in it's like replacing a football in your stomach.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I think if you have ability and talent in one way, you have it in all ways. I'm not a jack of all trades; I'm a master of many. I don't feel there is anything I can't do if I want to.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
I guess I'm like any other concerned father, except that nobody else's son guns a cycle over 17 pickups without holding on to the handlebars.
Quote by -Evel Knievel
The Internal Revenue Service is more ruthless than the Gestapo. Abolish the IRS! Stamp out organized crime!
