There is no way I would ask others to go on a Virgin Galactic flight if I didn’t feel it was safe enough for myself.

I like being comfortable at airports, in flip-flops with no jewelry on.

I was scared many times on Everest, but this is all part of the challenge. When I fell down a crevasse, it was pretty scary.

It will be a killer, and a chiller, and a thriller, when I get the gorilla in Manila.

What I enjoy most is doing something I’ve never done before.

I make good music for long journeys.

I’m really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I’m out; I’m asleep for takeoff.

Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.

I’ll live in Puerto Rico until the day I die.

Kindness and faithfulness keep a king safe, through kindness his throne is made secure.

Being a stunt coordinator, I have to take care not only of myself but I have to make sure everyone is safe.

I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris, and I have enjoyed it.

On the way back from Mumbai to go meet with President Xi in China, I stopped in Singapore to meet with a guy named Lee Kuan Yew, who most foreign policy experts around the world say is the wisest man in the Orient.

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

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.

It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.

The fact is: It’s true what they say about the United States. It is a land of opportunity. It is too various to get bored with it.

The Congo was the most difficult shoot of my life but was also maybe the greatest adventure of my life.

I have been a youngster and I know speeches are boring.

At the age of 6, a teacher full of ambitions, who taught in the small public school of Biran, convinced my family that I should travel to Santiago de Cuba to accompany my older sister who would enter a highly prestigious convent school. Including me was a skill of that very teacher from the little school in Biran.

When I was climbing, I built up a close relationship with the Sherpa people.

I came to China to follow my star and to steep myself in the raw regions of the universe.

I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

Well, the odds must be against anybody being able to fly around the world in a balloon on the first attempt. All of us who are attempting to go around the world in balloons are effectively flying in experimental craft because these craft cannot be tested.

The word ‚romance,‘ according to the dictionary, means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real. Romance should last a lifetime.

I love trying new things.

To start with, I love New York… It’s a little bit of the whole world… In New York, the whole world comes to you.

I try to encourage all my teammates, and I sure hope that some day all athletes – my kids, high school kids – get the same level of care I get. Because you can play for a long period of time without having knee replacements, without having all the major head trauma that people are dealing with.

It is often safer to be in chains than to be free.

I enjoyed climbing with other people, good friends, but I did quite a lot of solo climbing, too.

But in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them.

American stuntmen are smart – they think about safety. When they do a jump in a car, they calculate everything: the speed, the distance… But in Hong Kong, we don’t know how to count. Everything we do is a guess. If you’ve got the guts, you do it. All of my stuntmen have gotten hurt.

I would drive to gigs in my tiny little Fiat. I would shoot up and down the M1 to play at various places.

Until 1914 I loved to travel; I often went to Italy and once spent a few months in India. Since then I have almost entirely abandoned travelling, and I have not been outside of Switzerland for over ten years.

Growing up, my grandmother did not want worldly music in the house. Then when I went out to California, I started listening to Spanish music, mostly Mexican music. But were I in Egypt, I would listen to the music of the people, or if I was in Italy, I’d listen to Italian music.

I have often been downcast but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary, I treat all the privations as amusing.

A lot of people can’t stand touring but to me it’s like breathing. I do it because I’m driven to do it.

We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end.

I like to combine visits to more than one place when I go on my international tours in order to get more done. I’m from Ahmedabad where we have a saying, ‚Single-fare, double journey.‘

I’m a Bangalore boy.

The land created me. I’m wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I’m more at home in the vacant lots.

I want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them the fun side of me.

Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.

My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.

Wherever I go, as long as I get a hot vegetable dish, I am okay. If I am in Gujarat, I have Gujarati food. If it’s Shillong, it’s northeastern.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

On life’s vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.

A hundred struggle and drown in the breakers. One discovers the new world. But rather, ten times rather, die in the surf, heralding the way to that new world, than stand idly on the shore.

Distrust and caution are the parents of security.

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.

I love driving my car on any highway.

The notion that before you even set out to go to Thailand, you say, ‚I’m not interested,‘ or you’re unwilling to try things that people take so personally and are so proud of and so generous with, I don’t understand that, and I think it’s rude. You’re at Grandma’s house, you eat what Grandma serves you.

Travel teaches toleration.

I was born in Europe… and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.

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’ve been waiting over 40 years to come to Cyprus, and it has not disappointed – the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Crossroads of Civilization, and, I might add, a genuine strategic partner to the United States of America.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!

If you had your life to live over again, do it overseas.

Whenever a thing is done for the first time, it releases a little demon.
