More quotes by 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
If your heads were stuffed with straw, like mine, you would probably all live in the beautiful places, and then Kansas would have no people at all. It is fortunate for Kansas that you have brains.
L. Frank Baum
To destroy an offender cannot benefit society so much as to redeem him.
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
If we walk far enough, says Dorothy, we shall sometime come to someplace.
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
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'll miss you most of all scarecrow.
L. Frank Baum
The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick.
L. Frank Baum
I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
L. Frank Baum
Lions and tigers, and bears, oh my! - Dorothy in Wizard of Oz
L. Frank Baum
He brought toys to the children because they were little and helpless, and because he loved them.
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
True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid.
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
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
Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
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
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
I can't give you a brain, but I can give you a diploma.
L. Frank Baum
