More quotes by 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
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
It isn't what we are, but what folks think we are, that counts in this world.
L. Frank Baum
Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it.
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
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
It's so kind of you to want to visit me in my loneliness. - The Wicked Witch of the West. Now I know I have a heart, because it's breaking. - The Tin Woodsman Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
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
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
I think the world is like a great mirror, and reflects our lives just as we ourselves look upon it.
L. Frank Baum
You see, in this country are a number of youths who do not like to work, and the college is an excellent place for them.
L. Frank Baum
In all this world there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child.
L. Frank Baum
Stunt dwarf or destroy the imagination of a child and you have taken away its chances of success in life. Imagination transforms the commonplace into the great and creates the new out of the old.
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
Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't you think?
L. Frank Baum
I can't give you a brain, but I can give you a diploma.
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
To 'know Thyself' is considered quite an accomplishment.
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
The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick.
L. Frank Baum
