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.

More quotes by L. Frank Baum
There is no place like home.
L. Frank Baum
True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid.
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
Oh, I see said the Tin Woodman. But, after all, brains are not the best things in the world. Have you any? enquired the Scarecrow. No, my head is quite empty, answered the Woodman but once I had brains, and a heart also so, having tried them both, I should much rather have a heart.
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
It isn't what we are, but what folks think we are, that counts in this world.
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
I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
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 seems unfortunate that strong people are usually so disagreeable and overbearing that no one cares for them. In fact, to be different from your fellow creatures is always a misfortune.
L. Frank Baum
A baby has brains, but it doesn't know much. Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge, and the longer you are on earth the more experience you are sure to get.
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
Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities.
L. Frank Baum
Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't you think?
L. Frank Baum
I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-the-wisp...
L. Frank Baum
Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it.
L. Frank Baum
To destroy an offender cannot benefit society so much as to redeem him.
L. Frank Baum
It is such an uncomfortable feeling to know one is a fool.
L. Frank Baum
Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
L. Frank Baum
I'll miss you most of all scarecrow.
L. Frank Baum
