All of a sudden, I just believed in Jesus Christ. I did, I believed in him!

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
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
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
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
God made us. He's in charge of everything, right? If He didn't like us, why didn't he change us?
