More quotes by L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum
Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it.
L. Frank Baum
You people with hearts,' he said once, 'have something to guide you, and need never do wrong but I have no heart, and so I must be very careful.
L. Frank Baum
I shall really be very unhappy unless you give me the sort of courage that makes one forget he is afraid.
L. Frank Baum
