More From Walt Disney

The Sky Has Never Been The Limit. We Are Our Own Limits. It's Then About Breaking Our Personal Limits And Outgrowing Ourselves To Live Our Best Lives. All The Adversity I've Had In My Life, All My Troubles And Obstacles, Have Strengthened Me.

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.

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 Just Needed To Get Out On My Own, Live My Own Life. And I Did, And It's Great.

I Just Want To Leave You With This Thought, That It's Just Been Sort Of A Dress Rehearsal, And We're Just Getting Started. So If Any Of You Start Resting On Your Laurels, I Mean Just Forget It, Because...we Are Just Getting Started.

Disneyland Is Something That Will Never Be Finished. It's Something That I Can Keep Developing. It Will Be A Live, Breathing Thing That Will Need Change. A Picture Is A Thing, Once You Wrap It Up And Turn It Over To Technicolor, You're Through. Snow White Is A Dead Issue With Me. But I Can Change The Park, Because It's Alive.

If You Can Visualize It, If You Can Dream It, There's Some Way To Do It.

Here In Florida, We Have Something Special We Never Enjoyed At Disneyland: The Blessing Of Size. There's Enough Land Here To Hold All Of The Ideas And Plans We Can Possibly Imagine.

When I Was A Kid, A Book I Read Advised Young Artist To Be Themselves. That Decided It For Me. I Was A Corny Kind Of Guy, So I Went In For Corn.

Disneyland Is A Show.

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.

I Could Never Convince The Financiers That Disneyland Was Feasible, Because Dreams Offer Too Little Collateral.

A Man Should Never Neglect His Family For Business.

Always, As You Travel, Assimilate The Sounds And Sights Of The World.

I Believe Firmly In The Efficacy Of Religion, In Its Powerful Influence On A Person's Whole Life. It Helps Immeasurably To Meet The Storms And Stress Of Life And Keep You Attuned To The Divine Inspiration. Without Inspiration, We Would Perish.

There Is No Magic In Magic, It's All In The Details.

I Don't Have Depressed Moods. I'm Happy, Just Very, Very Happy.

Art Was Always A Means To An End With Me. You Get An Idea, And You Just Can't Wait. Once You've Started, Then You're In There With The Punches Flying. There's Plenty Of Trouble, But You Can Handle It. You Can't Back Out. It Gets You Down Once In A While, But It's Exciting. Our Whole Business Is Exciting.

It Has That Thing - The Imagination, And The Feeling Of Happy Excitement- I Knew When I Was A Kid.

Fantasy And Reality Often Overlap.

Who Says That My Dreams Have To Just Stay My Dreams?

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.

The Most Exciting And, By Far, The Most Important Part Of Our Florida Project, In Fact, The Heart Of Everything Well Be Doing In Disney World, Will Be Our Experimental Prototype City Of Tomorrow. We Call It Epcot.

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.

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.

If It Can Be Dreamed, It Can Be Done.

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.

Happiness Is A State Of Mind.

One Thing It Takes To Accomplish Something Is Courage.

The Story Man Must See Clearly In His Own Mind How Every Piece Of Business Will Be Put Over. He Should Feel Every Expression, Every Reaction. He Get Far Enough From His Story To Take A Second Look At It... To See Whether There Is Any Dead Phase... To See Whether The Personalities Are Going To Be Interesting And Appealing To The Audience. He Should Also Try To See That The Things That His Characters Are Doing Are Of An Interesting Nature.

You Don't Build It For Yourself. You Know What The People Want And You Build It For Them.

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.

If I Can't Find A Theme, I Can't Make A Film Anyone Else Will Feel. I Can't Laugh At Intellectual Humor. I'm Just Corny Enough To Like To Have A Story Hit Me Over The Heart.

I Happen To Be Kind Of An Inquisitive Guy And When I See Things I Don't Like, I Start Thinking, Why Do They Have To Be Like This And How Can I Improve Them?

There's Really No Secret About Our Approach. We Keep Moving Forward - Opening Up New Doors And Doing New Things - Because We're Curious. And Curiosity Keeps Leading Us Down New Paths. We're Always Exploring And Experimenting. We Call It Imagineering - The Blending Of Creative And Imagination With Technical Know-how.

I Try To Build A Full Personality For Each Of Our Cartoon Characters - To Make Them Personalities.

We Are Not Influenced By The Techniques Or Fashions Of Any Other Company.

Disneyland Will Always Be Building And Growing And Adding New Things... New Ways Of Having Fun, Of Learning Things, And Sharing The Many Exciting Adventures Which May Be Experienced Here In The Company Of Family And Friends.

The Important Thing Is To Teach A Child That Good Can Always Triumph Over Evil...

Adults Are Only Kids Grown Up

Curiosity Keeps Leading Us Down New Paths.

The Difference In Winning & Losing Is Most Often, Not Quitting.

Disneyland Really Began When My Two Daughters Were Very Young. Saturday Was Always Daddy's Day And I Would Take Them To The Merry-go-round, And Sit On A Bench Eating Peanuts While They Rode. And Sitting There Alone, I Felt There Should Be Something Built, Some Kind Of Family Park Where Parents And Children Could Have Fun Together.

It Is Good To Have A Failure While You're Young Because It Teaches You So Much. For One Thing It Makes You Aware That Such A Thing Can Happen To Anybody, And Once You've Lived Through The Worst, You're Never Quite As Vulnerable Afterward.

Tomorrow Will Be Better For As Long As America Keeps Alive The Ideals Of Freedom And A Better Life.

Of All Of Our Inventions For Mass Communication, Pictures Still Speak The Most Universally Understood Language.

Growing Up Isn't Simply Getting Old... Growing Up Is When You Don't Believe Anymore.

I Resent The Limitations Of My Own Imagination.

Disneyland Is The Star, Everything Else Is In The Supporting Role.

Once A Man Has Tasted Freedom He Will Never Be Content To Be A Slave. That Is Why I Believe That This Frightfulness We See Everywhere Today Is Only Temporary. Tomorrow Will Be Better For As Long As America Keeps Alive The Ideals Of Freedom And A Better Life. All Men Will Want To Be Free And Share Our Way Of Life. There Must Be So Much That I Should Have Said, But Haven't. What I Will Say Now Is Just What Most Of Us Are Probably Thinking Every Day. I Thank God And America For The Right To Live And Raise My Family Under The Flag Of Tolerance, Democracy And Freedom.

Get A Good Idea And Stay With It. Dog It, And Work At It Until It's Done Right.

Never Get Bored Or Cynical. Yesterday Is A Thing Of The Past.

Think, Believe, Dream, And Dare.

Many Of The Things That Seem Impossible Now Will Become Realities Tomorrow.

Whatever You Do, Do It Well. Do It So Well That When People See You Do It They Will Want To Come Back And See You Do It Again And They Will Want To Bring Others And Show Them How Well You Do What You Do.

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.

The Difference In The Profit And Loss Is Usually ... Do Not Quit.

I Never Intended To Make Art.

The American Child Is A Highly Intelligent Human Being - Characteristically Sensitive, Humorous, Open-minded, Eager To Learn, And Has A Strong Sense Of Excitement, Energy, And Healthy Curiosity About The World In Which He Lives. Lucky Indeed Is The Grown-up Who Manages To Carry These Same Characteristics Into Adult Life. It Usually Makes For A Happy And Successful Individual.

It Seems To Me Shallow And Arrogant For Any Man In These Times To Claim He Is Completely Self-made, That He Owes All His Success To His Own Unaided Efforts. Many Hands And Hearts And Minds Generally Contribute To Anyone's Notable Achievements.

Every Child Is Born Blessed With A Vivid Imagination. But Just As A Muscle Grows Flabby With Disuse, So The Bright Imagination Of A Child Pales In Later Years If He Ceases To Exercise It.

I Have Never Been Interested In Personal Gain Or Profit. This Business And This Studio Have Been My Entire Life.

You Reach A Point Where You Don't Work For Money.

A Good Ending Is Vital To A Picture, The Single Most Important Element, Because It Is What The Audience Takes With Them Out Of The Theater.

Money-or Rather The Lack Of It To Carry Out My Ideas-may Worry Me, But It Does Not Excite Me.

I Know Different Ways Of Looking At Things. I Have My Stockholders, And I Feel A Very Keen Responsibility To The Shareholders, But I Feel That The Main Responsibility I Have To Them Is To Have The Stock Appreciate. And You Only Have It Appreciate By Reinvesting As Much As You Can Back In The Business. And That's What We've Done... And That Has Been My Philosophy On Running The Business.

Disneyland Is Like Alice Stepping Through The Looking Glass; To Step Through The Portals Of Disneyland Will Be Like Entering Another World.

All Your Dreams Can Come True If You Have The Courage To Pursue Them.

Life Is Beautiful. It's About Giving. It's About Family.

Landscapes Of Great Wonder And Beauty Lie Under Our Feet And All Around Us. They Are Discovered In Tunnels In The Ground, The Heart Of Flowers, The Hollows Of Trees, Fresh-water Ponds, Seaweed Jungles Between Tides, And Even Drops Of Water. Life In These Hidden Worlds Is More Startling In Reality Than Anything We Can Imagine. How Could This Earth Of Ours, Which Is Only A Speck In The Heavens, Have So Much Variety Of Life, So Many Curious And Exciting Creatures?

I Take Great Pride In The Artistic Development Of Cartoons. Our Characters Are Made To Go Through Emotions.

I Do Not Like To Repeat Successes, I Like To Go On To Other Things.

Here You Leave Today And Enter The World Of Yesterday, Tomorrow, And Fantasy.

Disneyland Would Be A World Of Americans, Past And Present, Seen Through The Eyes Of My Imagination--a Place Of Warmth And Nostalgia, Of Illusion And Color And Delight.

Sheer Animated Fantasy Is Still My First And Deepest Production Impulse.

I Only Hope That We Don't Lose Sight Of One Thing - That It Was All Started By A Mouse.

There Are Fashions In Reading, Even In Thinking. You Don't Have To Follow Them Unless You Want To. On The Other Hand, Watch Out. Don't Stick Too Closely To Your Favorite Subject. That Would Keep You From Adventuring Into Other Fields. It's Silly To Build A Wall Around Your Interests.

Fear Too Often Spells Failure.

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.

Until A Character Becomes A Personality It Cannot Be Believed. Without Personality, The Character May Do Funny Or Interesting Things, But Unless People Are Able To Identify Themselves With The Character, Its Actions Will Seem Unreal. And Without Personality, A Story Cannot Ring True To The Audience.

You're Flying Buzz! No Woody We're Falling In Style!

Fantasy, If It's Really Convincing, Can't Become Dated, For The Simple Reason That It Represents A Flight Into A Dimension That Lies Beyond The Reach Of Time.

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.

You Little Fool. You Thought You Could Defeat The Most Powerful Being On Earth.

I Have A Great Love Of Animals And Laughter.

People Spend Money When And Where They Feel Good.

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.

But They Say If You Dream A Thing More Than Once, It's Sure To Come True.

Sleeping Beauty

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.

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.

You'll Be A Poorer Person All Your Life If You Don't Know Some Of The Great Stories And Great Poems.

We Don't Make Movies To Make Money, We Make Money To Make More Movies.

Recession Doesn't Deserve The Right To Exist. There Are Just Too Many Things To Be Done In Science And Engineering To Be Bogged Down By Temporary Economic Dislocations.

I Have Watched Constantly That In Our Work The Highest Moral And Spiritual Standards Are Upheld, Whether My Productions Deal With Fable Or With Stories Of Living Action.

I Don't Think There's A Thing I Own That I Will Ever Get The Benefit Of Except Through Doing Things With It.

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.

Every Man Is Captain Of His Career And There Must Be Cooperation All Around If He Is To Get What He Wants Out Of Life.

Animation Can Explain Whatever The Mind Of Man Can Conceive. This Facility Makes It The Most Versatile And Explicit Means Of Communication Yet Devised For Quick Mass Appreciation.

Leadership Shows Judgment, Wisdom, Personal Appeal And Proven Competence.

I'm Not The Perfectionist Anymore. It's My Staff. They're The Ones Always Insisting On Doing Something Better And Better.

Something Better

Have Confidence In Your Ability To Do It Right, And Work Hard To Do The Best Possible Job.

We Keep Moving Forward, Opening Up New Doors And Doing New Things, Because We're Curious... And Curiosity Keeps Leading Us Down New Paths.

I Think What I Want Disneyland To Be Most Of All Is A Happy Place...

I Think It’s Important To Have A Good Hard Failure When You're Young. I Learned A Lot Out Of That. Because It Makes You Kind Of Aware Of What Can Happen To You. Because Of It I’ve Never Had Any Fear In My Whole Life When We’ve Been Near Collapse And All Of That. I’ve Never Been Afraid. I’ve Never Had The Feeling I Couldn’t Walk Out And Get A Job Doing Something.

I Function Better When Things Are Going Badly Than When They're As Smooth As Whipped Cream.

We Have Always Tried To Be Guided By The Basic Idea That, In The Discovery Of Knowledge, There Is Great Entertainment - As, Conversely, In All Good Entertainment, There Is Always Some Grain Of Wisdom, Humanity, Or Enlightenment To Be Gained.

When You Go To Bat As Many Times As I Do, You're Bound To Get A Good Average. That's Why I Keep My Projects Diversified.

I Think What I Want Disneyland To Be Most Of All Is A Happy Place - A Place Where Adults And Children Can Experience Together Some Of The Wonders Of Life, Of Adventure, And Feel Better Because Of It.

I Don't Pretend To Know Anything About Art. I Make Pictures For Entertainment, And Then The Professors Tell Me What They Mean.

Disneyland Is A Work Of Love. We Didn't Go Into Disneyland Just With The Idea Of Making Money.

You Can't Just Let Nature Run Wild.

I Think You Have To Know These Fellows Definitely Before You Can Draw Them. When You Start To Caricature A Person,you Can't Do It Without Knowing The Person. Take Laurel And Hardy For Example; Everybody Can See Laurel Doing Certain Things Because They Know Laurel.

My Persistence Is The Measure Of The Belief I Have In Myself.

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.

Good Bye May Seem Forever. Farewell Is Like The End, But In My Heart Is The Memory And There You Will Always Be.

Happiness Is A State Of Mind. You Can Be Happy Or You Can Be Unhappy.

We Love To Entertain Kings And Queens, But At Disneyland, Everyone Is A V.i.p.

Kings And Queens

My Greatest Reward Is That I Have Been Able To Build This Wonderful Organization.

We're Not Trying To Entertain The Critics ... I'll Take My Chances With The Public.

When People Laugh At Mickey Mouse, It's Because He's So Human; And That Is The Secret Of His Popularity.

The Magic Is As Wide As A Smile And As Narrow As A Wink, Loud As Laughter And Quiet As A Tear, Tall As A Tale And Deep As Emotion. So Strong, It Can Lift The Spirit. So Gentle, It Can Touch The Heart. It Is The Magic That Begins The Happily Ever After.

A Person Should Set His Goals As Early As He Can And Devote All His Energy And Talent To Getting There.

No One Person Can Take Credit For The Success Of A Motion Picture. It's Strictly A Team Effort. From The Time The Story Is Written To The Time The Final Release Print Comes Off The Printer, Hundreds Of People Are Involved - Each One Doing A Job - Each Job Contributing To The Final Product.

I Believe That Laughter Is Our Greatest Export

Perhaps Bach And Beethoven Are Strange Bedfellows For Mickey Mouse, But It's All Been A Lot Of Fun.

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.

It's Always A Challenge Bringing A Great Story Classic To The Screen. Giving Visual Form To The Characters And Places That Have Only Existed In The Imagination. But It's The Kind Of Challenge We Enjoy.

When I'm Dead I Don't Want A Funeral. I Want People To Remember Me Alive.

Nothing Is Impossible

We Allow No Geniuses Around Our Studio.

In Our Animation We Must Show Only The Actions And Reactions Of A Character, But We Must Picture Also With The Action. . . The Feeling Of Those Characters.

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.

The Fun Is In Always Building Something. After It's Built, You Play With It Awhile And Then You're Through. You See, We Never Do The Same Thing Twice Around Here. We're Always Opening Up New Doors.

Frying Pans! Who Knew, Right?

Why Do We Have To Grow Up? I Know More Adults Who Have The Children's Approach To Life. They're People Who Don't Give A Hang What The Joneses Do. You See Them At Disneyland Every Time You Go There. They Are Not Afraid To Be Delighted With Simple Pleasures, And They Have A Degree Of Contentment With What Life Has Brought - Sometimes It Isn't Much, Either.

We Call It Epcot, Spelled E-p-c-o-t: Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow. Here It Is In Larger Scale. Epcot Will Take Its Cue From The New Ideas And New Technologies That Are Now Emerging From The Creative Centers Of American Industry. It Will Be A Community Of Tomorrow That Will Never Be Completed, But Will Always Be Introducing And Testing And Demonstrating New Materials And Systems. And Epcot Will Always Be A Showcase To The World For The Ingenuity And Imagination Of American Free Enterprise.

Disneyland Is Not Just Another Amusement Park. It's Unique, And I Want It Kept That Way. Besides, You Don't Work For A Dollar - You Work To Create And Have Fun.
