Who says that my dreams have to just stay my dreams?
Walt Disney
Image
You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.
Walt Disney

Disneyland is something that will never be finished. It's something that I can keep developing. It will be a live, breathing thing that will need change. A picture is a thing, once you wrap it up and turn it over to Technicolor, you're through. Snow White is a dead issue with me. But I can change the park, because it's alive.
Walt Disney
Image
Disneyland is like a piece of clay: If there is something I don't like, I'm not stuck with it. I can reshape and revamp.
Walt Disney
Image
My business is making people, especially children, happy. I have dedicated much of my time to a study of the problems of children.
Walt Disney

To me, today, at age sixty-one, all prayer, by the humble or highly placed, has one thing in common: supplication for strength and inspiration to carry on the best human impulses which should bind us together for a better world.
Walt Disney
Image
You think the only people who are people, are the people who look and think like you. But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew you never knew.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't have depressed moods. I'm happy, just very, very happy.
Walt Disney
Image
We've got to fight against bigness. If a school gets too large, you lose an intimacy with the students they begin to feel they're just part of a big complex. I don't think you can create too well in a big plant. That's why I always tried to avoid bigness in the studio.
Walt Disney
Image
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
Image
Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.
Walt Disney
Image
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.
Walt Disney
Image
Ideas come from curiosity.
Walt Disney
Image
Leadership means that a group, large or small, is willing to entrust authority to a person who has shown judgement, wisdom, personal appeal, and proven competence.
Walt Disney
Image
The worst of us is not without innocence, although buried deeply it might be.
Walt Disney
Image
Of all the things I've done, the most vital is coordinating those who work with me and aiming their efforts at a certain goal.
Walt Disney
Image
Animals have personalities like people and must be studied.
Walt Disney
Image
Don't tell me about the problems - I make the problems.
Walt Disney

I don't know if it's art, but I know I like it.
