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. Evel Knievel Read Quote
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. Evel Knievel Read Quote
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. Evel Knievel Read Quote
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. Evel Knievel Read Quote
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. Evel Knievel Read Quote

The finest compliment you can pay a man is that his word was as good as gold. Evel Knievel Read Quote
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. Evel Knievel Read Quote
