Do what you do so well that those who see you do what you do are going to come back to see you do it again and tell others that they should see you do what you do.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

I believe that laughter is our greatest export

Growing up isn't simply getting old... Growing up is when you don't believe anymore.

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.

I started, actually, to make my first animated cartoon in 1920. Of course, they were very crude things then and I used sort of little puppet things.

The fun is in always building something. After it's built, you play with it awhile and then you're through. You see, we never do the same thing twice around here. We're always opening up new doors.
Walt Disney

Disneyland really began when my two daughters were very young. Saturday was always Daddy's Day and I would take them to the merry-go-round, and sit on a bench eating peanuts while they rode. And sitting there alone, I felt there should be something built, some kind of family park where parents and children could have fun together.

A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep.
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.

Money doesn't excite me - my ideas excite me.
