More quotes by L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum
Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.

L. Frank Baum
If we didn't want anything, we would never get anything, good or bad. I think our longings are natural, and if we act as nature prompts us we can't go far wrong.
L. Frank Baum

Oh - You're a very bad man! Oh, no my dear. I'm a very good man. I'm just a very bad Wizard.
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
I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
L. Frank Baum
If you only have brains on your head you would be as good a man as any of them, and a better man than some of them. Brains are the only things worth having in this world, no matter whether one is a crow or a man.
L. Frank Baum
Never give up. No one knows what's going to happen next.
L. Frank Baum
There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.
L. Frank Baum
It's so kind of you to want to visit me in my loneliness. - The Wicked Witch of the West. Now I know I have a heart, because it's breaking. - The Tin Woodsman Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
L. Frank Baum
True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid.
