We dance, we kiss, we schmooze, we carry on, we go home happy. What do you say? Come on.
Walt Disney

Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.

If I haven't thought about six impossible things before breakfast, I consider the day wasted.
Walt Disney

We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin - a little fellow trying to do the best he could.

Over at our place, we’re sure of just one thing: everybody in the world was once a child. So in planning a new picture, we don’t think of grown-ups, and we don’t think of children. But just of that fine, clean, unspoiled spot down deep in every one of us, that maybe the world has made us forget.

Here is the world of imagination, hopes, and dreams. In this timeless land of enchantment, the age of chivalry, magic and make-believe are reborn - and fairy tales come true. Fantasyland is dedicated to the young-in-heart, to those who that when you wish upon a star, your dreams come true.

Or heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.
Walt Disney

I believe in being an innovator.
Walt Disney

People look at you and me to see what they are supposed to be. And, if we don't disappoint them, maybe, just maybe, they won't disappoint us.
Walt Disney

I function better when things are going badly than when they're as smooth as whipped cream.
Walt Disney
Image
Just make sure you never do less than your best
Walt Disney
Image
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.

If you act like an adult when you're a kid you can afford to act like a kid the rest of your life.

Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.

The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.

Do what you do so well - and so uniquely - that people can't resist telling others about you

A prayer, it seems to me, implies a promise as well as a request at the highest level, prayer not only is a supplication for strength and guidance, but also becomes an affirmation of life and thus a reverent praise of God.
