QUOTES BY Evel Knievel


I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair.

I decided to fly through the air and live in the sunlight and enjoy life as much as I could.

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.

Anybody can jump a motorcycle. The trouble begins when you try to land it.

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.

I don't have any problems in life, just situations.

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.

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.

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.
