More quotes by Walt Disney
Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.
Walt Disney
Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well, I won't do that.
Walt Disney
Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.
Walt Disney
I love the nostalgic myself. I hope we never lose some of the things of the past.
Walt Disney
It is my wish to delight all members of the family, young and old, parent and child.
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
When we consider a project, we really study it-not just the surface idea, but everything about it. And when we go into that new project, we believe in it all the way. We have confidence in our ability to do it right. And we work hard to do the best possible job.
Walt Disney
My greatest reward is that I have been able to build this wonderful organization.
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
Everyone has to contribute, or they become laborers.
Walt Disney
Suddenly he stops. He looks up. For, lo, there she stands. The girl of his dreams. Who she is or whence she came, he knows not, nor does he care for his heart tells him that here, here is the maid predestined to be his bride.
Walt Disney
Disneyland is often called a magic kingdom because it combines fantasy and history, adventure and learning, together with every variety of recreation and fun designed to appeal to everyone.
Walt Disney
A good story can take you on a fantastic journey.
Walt Disney
I have never been interested in personal gain or profit. This business and this studio have been my entire life.
Walt Disney
I've always had a feeling that any time you can experiment, you ought to do it. Because you never know what will happen.
Walt Disney
What seems real to the mind can be as important as any material fact. We live by the spirit and the imagination as well as by our senses. Cartoon animation can give fantasy the same reality as those things we can touch and see and hear.
Walt Disney
If I depended on critics and children to make a living I'd grow broke.
Walt Disney
In my work I try to reach and speak to that innocence, showing it the fun and joy of living showing it that laughter is healthy showing it that the human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.
Walt Disney
Ideas come from curiosity.
Walt Disney
Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.
