More quotes by L. Frank Baum

The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
L. Frank Baum
The Scarecrow watched the Woodman while he worked and said to him I cannot think why this wall is here nor what it is made of. Rest you brains and do not worry about the wall, replied the Woodman, when we have climbed over it we shall know what is on the other side.

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

L. Frank Baum
To destroy an offender cannot benefit society so much as to redeem him.
L. Frank Baum
Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it.
L. Frank Baum
Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't you think?
L. Frank Baum
I think the world is like a great mirror, and reflects our lives just as we ourselves look upon it.
L. Frank Baum
Mortals seldom know how greatly they are influenced by fairies, knooks and ryls, who often put thoughts into their heads that only the wise little immortals could have conceived.
L. Frank Baum
To 'know Thyself' is considered quite an accomplishment.
L. Frank Baum
One can be ugly in looks, but lovely in disposition.
