More quotes by L. Frank Baum
You have plenty of courage, I am sure, answered Oz. All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty.
L. Frank Baum
It must be inconvenient to be made of flesh, said the Scarecrow thoughtfully, for you must sleep, and eat and drink. However, you have brains, and it is worth a lot of bother to be able to think properly.
L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum
Never give up. No one knows what's going to happen next.
L. Frank Baum
The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick.
L. Frank Baum
During the year I stood there I had known was the loss of my heart. While I was in love I was the happiest man on earth.
L. Frank Baum
We consider a prisoner unfortunate. He is unfortunate in two ways-because he has done something wrong and because he is deprived of his liberty. Therefore we should treat him kindly, because of his misfortune, for otherwise he would become hard and bitter and would not be sorry he had done wrong.
L. Frank Baum
Flowers are beautiful, for instance, but we are not inclined to marry them. Duty, on the contrary, is a bugle call to action, whether you are inclined to act, or not. In this case, I obey the bugle call of duty.
L. Frank Baum
I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart.
L. Frank Baum
Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it.
L. Frank Baum
Lions and tigers, and bears, oh my! - Dorothy in Wizard of Oz
L. Frank Baum
The proud spirit of the original owners of these vast prairies inherited through centuries of fierce and bloody wars for their possession, lingered last in the bosom of Sitting Bull. With his fall the nobility of the Redskin is extinguished, and what few are left are a pack of whining curs who lick the hand that smites them.
L. Frank Baum
I'll miss you most of all scarecrow.
L. Frank Baum
I shall take the heart. For brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.
L. Frank Baum
I believe that dreams - day dreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain machinery whizzing - are likely to lead to the betterment of the world.
L. Frank Baum
No, indeed I don't know anything. You see, I am stuffed, so I have no brains at all.
L. Frank Baum
To 'know Thyself' is considered quite an accomplishment.
L. Frank Baum
Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
L. Frank Baum
You see, in this country are a number of youths who do not like to work, and the college is an excellent place for them.
L. Frank Baum
If your heads were stuffed with straw, like mine, you would probably all live in the beautiful places, and then Kansas would have no people at all. It is fortunate for Kansas that you have brains.
L. Frank Baum
