I don't believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn't treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should.

More quotes by Walt Disney
If we didn't have deadlines, we'd stagnate.
Walt Disney
I first saw the site for Disneyland back in 1953, In those days it was all flat land - no rivers, no mountains, no castles or rocket ships - just orange groves, and a few acres of walnut trees.
Walt Disney
Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed.
Walt Disney
It has that thing - the imagination, and the feeling of happy excitement- I knew when I was a kid.
Walt Disney
Childishness? I think it's the equivalent of never losing your sense of humor. I mean, yes there's a certain something that you retain. It's the equivalent of not getting so stuffy that you can't laugh at others.
Walt Disney
That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up.
Walt Disney
When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it's because he's so human and that is the secret of his popularity.
Walt Disney
Or heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.
Walt Disney
Fantasy and reality often overlap.
Walt Disney
Behind every great amusement park is a great fan site.
Walt Disney
My persistence is the measure of the belief I have in myself.
Walt Disney
Fancy being remembered around the world for the invention of a mouse!
Walt Disney
Leadership means that a group, large or small, is willing to entrust authority to a person who has shown judgement, wisdom, personal appeal, and proven competence.
Walt Disney
I definitely feel that we cannot do the fantastic things based on the real, unless we first know the real.
Walt Disney
No matter what the provocation, I never fire a man who is honestly trying to deliver a job. Few workers who become established at the Disney Studio ever leave voluntarily or otherwise, and many have been on the payroll all their working lives.
Walt Disney
You reach a point where you don't work for money.
Walt Disney
When we opened Disneyland, a lot of people got the impressions that it was a get-rich-quick thing, but they didn't realize that behind Disneyland was this great organization that I built here at the Studio, and they all got into it and we were doing it because we loved to do it.
Walt Disney
We allow no geniuses around our Studio.
Walt Disney
Togetherness, for me, means teamwork. It makes us reflect how completely dependent we are upon one another in our social and commercial life. The more diversified our labors and interests have become in the modern world, the more surely need to integrate our efforts to justify our individual selves and our civilization.
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
