More quotes by 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
The Tin Woodman knew very well he had no heart, and therefore he took great care never to be cruel or unkind to anything.
L. Frank Baum
There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home.
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
Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it. Why my little party's just beginning. ~ Wicked Witch of the West Wizard of Oz
L. Frank Baum

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
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
Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
L. Frank Baum
I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
L. Frank Baum
Never give up. No one knows what's going to happen next.
L. Frank Baum
He is my dog, Toto, answered Dorothy. Is he made of tin, or stuffed? asked the Lion. Neither. He's a-- a-- a meat dog, said the girl.
L. Frank Baum
He brought toys to the children because they were little and helpless, and because he loved them.
L. Frank Baum
The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick.
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
To 'know Thyself' is considered quite an accomplishment.
L. Frank Baum
Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it.
L. Frank Baum
