Our greatest national resource is the minds of our children.
Walt Disney
Image
Sometimes I think of myself as a little bee. I go from one area of the studio to another and gather pollen and sort of stimulate everybody. I guess that’s the job I do.
Walt Disney
Image
Direct and easy communications — freedom of speech in all forms and in its broadest sense — has become vital to the very survival of a civilized humanity.
Walt Disney
Image
It is my wish to delight all members of the family, young and old, parent and child.
Walt Disney
Image
I just want it to look like nothing else in the world. And it should be surrounded by a train.
Walt Disney
Image
I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't pretend to know anything about art. I make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean.
Walt Disney
Image
A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't pose as an authority on anything at all, I follow the opinions of the ordinary people I meet, and I take pride in the close-knit teamwork with my organization.
Walt Disney
Image
It has that thing - the imagination, and the feeling of happy excitement- I knew when I was a kid.
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
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.
Walt Disney
Image
At first the cartoon medium was just a novelty, but it never really began to hit until we had more than tricks... until we developed personalities. We had to get beyond getting a laugh. They may roll in the aisles, but that doesn't mean you have a great picture. You have pathos in the thing.
Walt Disney

[Mickey Mouse] He popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.
Walt Disney
Image
But they say if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true.
Walt Disney
Image
We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin - a little fellow trying to do the best he could.

Of all the things I've done, the most vital is coordinating those who work with me and aiming their efforts at a certain goal.
Walt Disney
Image
Mickey's a nice fellow who never does anyone any harm, who gets into scrapes through no fault of his own but always manages to come up grinning.
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.
