L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum
Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't you think?
L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum
True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid.
L. Frank Baum

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
Dorothy said nothing. Oz had not kept the promise he made her, but he had done his best. So she forgave him. As he said, he was a good man, even if he was a bad Wizard.
L. Frank Baum
The absurd and legendary devil is the enigma of the Church.
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
I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-the-wisp...
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
If we walk far enough, says Dorothy, we shall sometime come to someplace.
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
