Who says that my dreams have to just stay my dreams?
Walt Disney
Image
Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource - the minds of our children.
Walt Disney
Image
A prayer, it seems to me, implies a promise as well as a request at the highest level, prayer not only is a supplication for strength and guidance, but also becomes an affirmation of life and thus a reverent praise of God.
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

The same thing could have happened on Halloween if somebody in the neighborhood had jumped out and scared him.
Walt Disney
Image
Give the public everything you can give them, keep the place as clean as you can keep it, keep it friendly.
Walt Disney
Image
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.

We like to have a point of view in our stories, not an obvious moral, but a worthwhile theme. ... All we are trying to do is give the public good entertainment. That is all they want.
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. With the laugh comes the tears and in developing motion pictures or television shows, you must combine all the facts of life - drama, pathos and humor.
Walt Disney
Image
I don't want to please everybody. I'd get a little worried if I did something and everybody was pleased with it.
Walt Disney
Image
I am not interested in what a man can't do. I want to know what he CAN do.
Walt Disney
Image
Animals have personalities like people and must be studied.
Walt Disney
Image
I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.
Walt Disney
Image
Adults are interested if you don't play down to the little 2 or 3 year olds or talk down. I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment. I like to kind of just talk in a general way to the audience. Children are always reaching.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life.

I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.
