I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-the-wisp...
L. Frank Baum
I'll miss you most of all scarecrow.
L. Frank Baum
To destroy an offender cannot benefit society so much as to redeem him.
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
Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
L. Frank Baum
I shall take the heart. For brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.
L. Frank Baum
To 'know Thyself' is considered quite an accomplishment.
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
To be angry once in a while is really good fun, because it makes others so miserable. But to be angry morning, noon and night, as I am, grows monotonous and prevents my gaining any other pleasure in life.
L. Frank Baum
A little misery, at times, makes one appreciate happiness more.
L. Frank Baum
Never give up. No one knows what's going to happen next.
L. Frank Baum
I believe that dreams - day dreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain machinery whizzing - are likely to lead to the betterment of the world.
L. Frank Baum
The road to the City of Emeralds is paved with yellow brick.
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
. . .It is the Law that while Evil, unopposed, may accomplish terrible deeds, the power of Good can never be overthrown when opposed to Evil. . .
L. Frank Baum
In all this world there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child.
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
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
I have a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
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
