I don't believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn't treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should.
Walt Disney
Image
Don't tell me about the problems - I make the problems.
Walt Disney
Image
God wisely designed the human body so that we can neither pat our own backs nor kick ourselves too easily. The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
Walt Disney
Image
I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

Walt Disney
Image
If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast? -Beauty & the Beast
Walt Disney

Being a celebrity doesn't even seem to keep the fleas off our dogs — and if being a celebrity won't give me an advantage over a couple of fleas, then I guess there can't be much in being a celebrity after all.
Walt Disney
Image
I am a patient listener, but opinionated to the point of stubbornness when my mind is made up.
Walt Disney
Image
When you go to bat as many times as I do, you're bound to get a good average. That's why I keep my projects diversified.
Walt Disney
Image
Women are the best judges of anything we turn out. Their taste is very important. They are the theatergoers they are the ones who drag the men in. If the women like it, to heck with the men.
Walt Disney
Image
I'm just corny enough to like to have a story hit me over the heart.
Walt Disney
Image
We are not influenced by the techniques or fashions of any other company.
Walt Disney

Perhaps Bach and Beethoven are strange bedfellows for Mickey Mouse, but it's all been a lot of fun.

The human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.
