All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.

More quotes by Walt Disney
Without such inspiration, we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish.
Walt Disney
Speaking for the one field which I feel definitely qualified to comment on, I fully believe the animated picture will emerge as one of the greatest mediums, not only of entertainment but also of education.
Walt Disney
I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.
Walt Disney
Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true.
Walt Disney
All right. I'm corny. But I think there's just about a-hundred-and-forty-million people in this country that are just as corny as I am.
Walt Disney
People often ask me if I know the secret of success and if I could tell others how to make their dreams come true. My answer is, you do it by working.
Walt Disney
Perhaps Bach and Beethoven are strange bedfellows for Mickey Mouse, but it's all been a lot of fun.
Walt Disney
Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what outside, but what is inside that counts.
Walt Disney
I just needed to get out on my own, live my own life. And I did, and it's great.
Walt Disney
Recession doesn't deserve the right to exist. There are just too many things to be done in science and engineering to be bogged down by temporary economic dislocations.
Walt Disney
In our animation we must show only the actions and reactions of a character, but we must picture also with the action. . . the feeling of those characters.
Walt Disney
Fantasy and reality often overlap.
Walt Disney
There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island...
Walt Disney
Mickey's a nice fellow who never does anyone any harm, who gets into scrapes through no fault of his own but always manages to come up grinning.
Walt Disney
If I can't find a theme, I can't make a film anyone else will feel. I can't laugh at intellectual humor. I'm just corny enough to like to have a story hit me over the heart.
Walt Disney
We grew to our present size almost against ourselves. It was not a deliberately planned commercial venture in the sense that I sat down and said that we were going to make ourselves into a huge financial octopus. We evolved by necessity. We did not sit down and say to ourselves, 'How can we make a big pile of dough?' It just happened.
Walt Disney
We seem to know when to 'tap the heart.' Others have hit the intellect. We can hit them in all emotional way. Those who appeal to the intellect only appeal to a very limited group. The real thing behind this is: we are in the motion picture business, only we are drawing them instead of photographing them.
Walt Disney
My business is making people, especially children, happy.
Walt Disney
Disneyland is a work of love...Drawing up plans and dreaming of what I could do, everything. It was just something I kind of kept playing around with.
Walt Disney
Well it took many years. I started with many ideas, threw them away, started all over again. And eventually it evolved into what you see today at Disneyland
