Survival is not about being fearless. It's about making a decision, getting on and doing it, because I want to see my kids again, or whatever the reason might be.

I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.

The rules of survival never change, whether you're in a desert or in an arena.

If you risk nothing you gain nothing

Is your ego small enough, and your backbone strong enough, to raise others up high on your shoulders?

Sometimes an ember is all we need.

I've seen extreme bravery from the least likely of people. Life is about the moments when it's all gone wrong. That's when we define ourselves.

You don't need to go to the ends of the earth, you don't need to climb Everest to have a great adventure, it's invariably on our doorstep.

A wise man knows; learn from others, never get complacent and know where the classic old dangers come from.

Live a wild, generous full, exciting life – blessing those around you and seeing the good in all.

There is no feeling like coming home after danger.

What a wonderful sadness to miss the one you have loved forever, it seems, and know that she is waiting at home.

Beware of the man of one book.

All work which is necessary ennobles him who performs it. Only one thing is shameful - to contribute nothing to the community.

That we ought, once for all, heartily to put our whole trust in GOD, and make a total surrender of ourselves to Him, secure that He would not deceive us.

The real beauty of the time we're living through is that we can deploy our self-image in ways that can have radical social implications.

When you combine the ability to express your unique talent with service to humanity, then you make full use of The Law of Dharma.

We seldom find people ungrateful so long as it is thought we can serve them.

The happy ending is hardly important, though we may be glad its there. The real joy is knowing that if you felt the trouble in the story, your kingdom isnt dead.

What is guilt? It is moral self-reproach-I did wrong when it was possible to have done otherwise.

Morality is an utterly meaningless term unless defined as the good one does to others, the fulfilling of one's function in the sociopolitical whole.
