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.

More quotes by L. Frank Baum
One can be ugly in looks, but lovely in disposition.
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
Some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't you think?
L. Frank Baum
Flowers are beautiful, for instance, but we are not inclined to marry them. Duty, on the contrary, is a bugle call to action, whether you are inclined to act, or not. In this case, I obey the bugle call of duty.
L. Frank Baum
I can't give you a brain, but I can give you a diploma.
L. Frank Baum
Lions and tigers, and bears, oh my! - Dorothy in Wizard of Oz
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
I shall really be very unhappy unless you give me the sort of courage that makes one forget he is afraid.
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
It isn't what we are, but what folks think we are, that counts in this world.
L. Frank Baum
If we walk far enough, says Dorothy, we shall sometime come to someplace.
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
To 'know Thyself' is considered quite an accomplishment.
L. Frank Baum
True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid.
L. Frank Baum
Never give up. No one knows what's going to happen next.
L. Frank Baum
A little misery, at times, makes one appreciate happiness more.
L. Frank Baum
In all this world there is nothing so beautiful as a happy child.
L. Frank Baum
It is such an uncomfortable feeling to know one is a fool.
L. Frank Baum
The absurd and legendary devil is the enigma of the Church.
L. Frank Baum
Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
L. Frank Baum
