More quotes by Walt Disney
I love the nostalgic myself. I hope we never lose some of the things of the past.
Walt Disney
Mickey was simply a little personality assigned to the purposes of laughter.
Walt Disney
The more you are like yourself, the less you are like anyone else which makes you unique. The problem with most people is that they spend their lives trying to emulate others and so we have lots of copies but few originals.
Walt Disney
A man should never neglect his family for business.
Walt Disney
Faith I have, in myself, in humanity, in the worthwhileness of the pursuits in entertainment for the masses. But wide awake, not blind faith, moves me. My operations are based on experience, thoughtful observation and warm fellowship with my neighbors at home and around the world.
Walt Disney
Disneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role.
Walt Disney
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.

Walt Disney
I am interested in entertaining people, in bringing pleasure, particularly laughter, to others, rather than being concerned with expressing myself with obscure creative impressions.
Walt Disney
Adults are only kids grown up
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
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
You know, the only way I've found to make these pictures is with animators. You can't seem to do it with accountants and bookkeepers.
Walt Disney
I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place...
Walt Disney
It feels good when it helps to get a good seat for a football game. But it never helped me make a good film or a good shot in a polo game, or command the obedience of my daughter. It doesn
Walt Disney
Anything that has the Disney name to it is something we feel responsible for.
