More quotes by L. Frank Baum
Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it.
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
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
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
One can be ugly in looks, but lovely in disposition.
L. Frank Baum
Everything in life is unusual until you get accustomed to it -The Scarecrow - The Marvellous Land Of Oz by L. Frank Baum pg 103 chapter 13
L. Frank Baum
As a matter of fact, we are none of us above criticism so let us bear with each other's faults.
L. Frank Baum
If we walk far enough, says Dorothy, we shall sometime come to someplace.
L. Frank Baum
I'll miss you most of all scarecrow.
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
There is no place like home.
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
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
Oh, if Shakespeare says it, that's all right.
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
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
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
I shall really be very unhappy unless you give me the sort of courage that makes one forget he is afraid.
L. Frank Baum
The Tin Woodman knew very well he had no heart, and therefore he took great care never to be cruel or unkind to anything.
L. Frank Baum
Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't you think?
L. Frank Baum
