More quotes by 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
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
The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick.
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
One can be ugly in looks, but lovely in disposition.
L. Frank Baum
Lions and tigers, and bears, oh my! - Dorothy in Wizard of Oz
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
No, indeed I don't know anything. You see, I am stuffed, so I have no brains at all.
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
In all this world there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child, says good old Santa Claus and if he had his way the children would all be beautiful, for all would be happy.
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
To destroy an offender cannot benefit society so much as to redeem him.
L. Frank Baum
Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't you think?
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
Modern education includes morality therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder-tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.
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
I shall really be very unhappy unless you give me the sort of courage that makes one forget he is afraid.
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
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
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
