Growing up isn't simply getting old... Growing up is when you don't believe anymore.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment.
Walt Disney
Image
Tomorrow will be better for as long as America keeps alive the ideals of freedom and a better life.
Walt Disney
Image
The ideal set-up would be the story man, the director, and the layout man, as well as musician, operating as a sort of story unit. They all should be keenly interested in the picture. No one in person should donate to an extent where he would keep the others from entering into the production and freely expressing themselves.
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
The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil...
Walt Disney
Image
Art was always a means to an end with me. You get an idea, and you just can't wait. Once you've started, then you're in there with the punches flying. There's plenty of trouble, but you can handle it. You can't back out. It gets you down once in a while, but it's exciting. Our whole business is exciting.
Walt Disney

The wonders of nature are endless.
Walt Disney
Image
Whether you say you can't or you can, you're right.
Walt Disney
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I do not want to make teaching films. If I did, I would create a separate organization. It is not higher education that interests me so much as general mass education.
Walt Disney
Image
I have watched constantly that in our work the highest moral and spiritual standards are upheld, whether my productions deal with fable or with stories of living action.
Walt Disney
Image
You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.
Walt Disney
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Animals have personalities like people and must be studied.
Walt Disney
Image
It seems to me shallow and arrogant for any man in these times to claim he is completely self-made, that he owes all his success to his own unaided efforts. Many hands and hearts and minds generally contribute to anyone's notable achievements.
Walt Disney
Image
All you've got to do is own up to your ignorance honestly, and you'll find people who are eager to fill your head with information.
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.
