To the lover of wilderness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.

Here ends my forever memorable first High Sierra excursion. I have crossed the Range of Light, surely the brightest and best of all the Lord has built. And, rejoicing in its glory, I gladly, gratefully, hopefully pray I may see it again.

No man is free who is not master of himself.

I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.

When I first starting making money, when I first made my first six-digits, I was – my big thing was I went to put super unleaded in my truck for the first time.

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.

Obstinacy is the result of the will forcing itself into the place of the intellect.

We’re introducing separate rooms with double beds in all of our planes so people can actually go with their partner and have a proper night’s sleep.

Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.

Money is like an arm or leg – use it or lose it.

Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1.

Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

It’s wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.

Being on tour is like being in limbo. It’s like going from nowhere to nowhere.

I am quite serious when I say that I do not believe there are, on the whole earth besides, so many intensified bores as in these United States. No man can form an adequate idea of the real meaning of the word, without coming here.

It is more difficult to rule yourself than to rule a city.

Creditors have better memories than debtors.

It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

I am not solicitous to examine particularly everything here, which indeed could not be done in fifty years, because my desire is to make all possible discoveries, and return to your Highnesses, if it please our Lord, in April.

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.

Mandela’s heroism is the heroism of a man who suffered so badly for what he thought of as freedom. And yet when he had the upper hand he has this incredible self-control and these incredible leadership qualities.

One ought to hold on to one’s heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.

I’ve been to Disneyland, like, 10 times. I’m getting really tired of Disneyland.

As a teenager, I went to Bali a lot, but it’s a long, long way from England. Which is why, when we bought Necker Island, we made it like a mini Bali.

I got to Africa. I got the opportunity to go and learn, not about any animal, but chimpanzees. I was living in my dream world, the forest in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. It was Tanganyika when I began.

Of all the mountain ranges I have climbed, I like the Sierra Nevada the best.

I have a problem with too much money. I can’t reinvest it fast enough, and because I reinvest it, more money comes in. Yes, the rich do get richer.

I haven’t been as wild with my money as somebody like me might have been. I’ve been very safe, very conservative with investments. I don’t blow money. I don’t have a ton of houses. I know things can go away. I’ve already had that experience.

Going to Southeast Asia for the first time and tasting that spectrum of flavors – that certainly changed my whole palate, the kind of foods I crave. A lot of the dishes I used to love became boring to me.

I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!

The hardest thing to understand in the world is the income tax.

That’s one of the biggest things. Never being home, always traveling, having different interests and focusing on different things, just the time aspect of going back home and seeing them, you don’t have that at all. It was a big sacrifice but, at the end of the day, it was worth it.

When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.

When one travels around the world, one notices to what an extraordinary degree human nature is the same, whether in India or America, in Europe or Australia.

People from all over the world come to London wanting to make their own mark on it, and they add to the energy and vitality of the capital. It’s got a bit busier since the ’60s, but the more the merrier!

However, because Britain is young and exciting, I did show my second line here once or twice.

Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.

Paris ain’t much of a town.

No place is better than Akron.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

I remember I was flying home to Los Angeles one day. I was talking to the woman next to me and the flight attendant tried to tell me I was sitting next to somebody that I should know. I didn’t recognize her but it ended up being Beyonce’s sister, Solange Knowles.

I think it’s a very good thing to leave your country and look at it from afar.

When you get angry, your options narrow.
