More quotes by Walt Disney
The important thing is the family. If you can keep the family together - and that's the backbone of our whole business, catering to families - that's what we hope to do.
Walt Disney
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
Curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Walt Disney
Never get bored or cynical. Yesterday is a thing of the past.
Walt Disney
Main Street, U.S.A. is America at the turn of the century--the crossroads of an era. The gas lamps and the electric lamp--the horse-drawn car and auto car. Main Street is everyone's hometown- the heart line of America.
Walt Disney
To the youngsters of today, I say Believe in the future, the world is getting better there still is plenty of opportunity. Why, would you believe it, when I was a kid I thought it was already too late for me to make good at anything.
Walt Disney

Walt Disney
Without such inspiration, we would rapidly deteriorate and finally perish.
Walt Disney
People still think of me as a cartoonist, but the only thing I lift a pen or pencil for these days is to sign a contract, a check, or an autograph.
Walt Disney
Believe in your dreams, no matter how impossible they seem.
Walt Disney
All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Walt Disney
Behind every great amusement park is a great fan site.
Walt Disney
Born of necessity, the little fellow literally freed us of immediate worry. He provided the means for expanding our organization to its present dimensions and for extending the medium of cartoon animation toward new entertainment levels. He spelled production liberation for us.
Walt Disney
Part of the Disney success is our ability to create a believable world of dreams that appeals to all age groups. The kind of entertainment we create is meant to appeal to every member of the family.
Walt Disney
Good bye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end, but in my heart is the memory and there you will always be.
Walt Disney
I think a good study of music would be indispensable to the animators - a realization on their part of how primitive music is, how natural it is for people to want to go to music - a study of rhythm, the dance - the various rhythms enter into our lives every day.
Walt Disney
It has that thing - the imagination, and the feeling of happy excitement- I knew when I was a kid.
Walt Disney
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
My fun is working on a project and solving the problems.
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
