Mickey was simply a little personality assigned to the purposes of laughter.
Walt Disney
Image
Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what outside, but what is inside that counts.
Walt Disney
Image
If you act like an adult when you're a kid you can afford to act like a kid the rest of your life.
Walt Disney
Image
nothing is impossible
Walt Disney
Image
All individuals are different. Some of us just wouldn't be satisfied with just carrying out a routine job and being happy.
Walt Disney
Image
If anybody gets highbrow around the studio, out he goes.
Walt Disney
Image
For every laugh, there should be a tear.
Walt Disney
Image
To some people, I am a kind of Merlin who takes lots of crazy chances, but rarely makes mistakes.
Walt Disney
Image
It's a mistake not to give people a chance to learn to depend on themselves while they are young.
Walt Disney
Image
It is good to have a failure while you're young because it teaches you so much. For one thing it makes you aware that such a thing can happen to anybody, and once you've lived through the worst, you're never quite as vulnerable afterward.
Walt Disney
Image
If you can visualize it, if you can dream it, there's some way to do it.
Walt Disney
Image
I function better when things are going badly than when they're as smooth as whipped cream.
Walt Disney
Image
I just make what I like - warm and human stories, ones about historic characters and events, and about animals. If there is a secret, I guess it's that I never make the pictures too childish, but always try to get in a little satire of adult foibles.
Walt Disney
Image
In most instances, the driving force behind the action is the mood, the personality, the attitude of the character - or all three. Therefore, the mind is the pilot. We think of things before the body does them.
Walt Disney
Image
Laughter is no enemy to learning
Walt Disney
Image
Life is beautiful. It's about giving. It's about family.
Walt Disney
Image
I believe firmly in the efficacy of religion, in its powerful influence on a person's whole life. It helps immeasurably to meet the storms and stress of life and keep you attuned to the Divine inspiration. Without inspiration, we would perish.
Walt Disney
Image
When I'm dead I don't want a funeral. I want people to remember me alive.
Walt Disney
Image
I just want to leave you with this thought, that it's just been sort of a dress rehearsal, and we're just getting started. So if any of you start resting on your laurels, I mean just forget it, because...we are just getting started.
Walt Disney
Image
Both my study of Scripture and my career in entertaining children have taught me to cherish them.
