People Look At Me In Many Ways. They've Said, 'the Guy Has No Regard For Money.' That Is Not True. I Have Had Regard For Money. It Depends On Who's Saying That. Some People Worship Money As Something You've Got To Have Piled Up In A Big Pile Somewhere. I've Only Thought About Money In One Way, And That Is To Do Something With It. I Don't Think There's A Thing I Own That I Will Ever Get The Benefit Of Except Through Doing Things With It. I Don't Even Want The Dividends From The Stock In The Studio, Because The Government's Going To Take It Away. I'd Rather Have That In (the Company) Working.

Our Greatest National Resource Is The Minds Of Our Children.

Whenever I Go On A Ride, I'm Always Thinking Of What's Wrong With The Thing And How It Can Be Improved.

We Believed In Our Idea - A Family Park Where Parents And Children Could Have Fun- Together.

Everyone Has To Contribute, Or They Become Laborers.

Progress Is Impossible Without Change

Children Are People, And They Should Have To Reach To Learn About Things, To Understand Things, Just As Adults Have To Reach If They Want To Grow In Mental Stature. Life Is Composed Of Lights And Shadows, And We Would Be Untruthful, Insincere, And Saccharine If We Tried To Pretend There Were No Shadows. Most Things Are Good, And They Are The Strongest Things; But There Are Evil Things Too, And You Are Not Doing A Child A Favor By Trying To Shield Him From Reality. The Important Thing Is To Teach A Child That Good Can Always Triumph Over Evil.

Think Beyond Your Lifetime, If You Want To Do Something Truly Great.

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.

It's No Secret That We Were Sticking Just About Every Nickel We Had On The Chance That People Would Really Be Interested In Something Totally New And Unique In The Field Of Entertainment.

Besides, You Don't Work For A Dollar - You Work To Create And Have Fun.

Amusement Parks

I Don't Want The Public To See The World They Live In While They're In The Park (disneyland). I Want To Feel They're In Another World.

It's Kind Of Fun To Do The Impossible.

I Just Make What I Like - Warm And Human Stories, Ones About Historic Characters And Events, And About Animals. If There Is A Secret, I Guess It's That I Never Make The Pictures Too Childish, But Always Try To Get In A Little Satire Of Adult Foibles.

Born Of Necessity, The Little Fellow Literally Freed Us Of Immediate Worry. He Provided The Means For Expanding Our Organization To Its Present Dimensions And For Extending The Medium Of Cartoon Animation Toward New Entertainment Levels. He Spelled Production Liberation For Us.

Nothing Is Impossible

Any Dream Is Possible, If You Have Courage.

The Life And Ventures Of Mickey Mouse Have Been Closely Bound Up With My Own Personal And Professional Life. It Is Understandable That I Should Have Sentimental Attachment For The Little Personage Who Played So Big A Part In The Course Of Disney Productions And Has Been So Happily Accepted As An Amusing Friend Wherever Films Are Shown Around The World. He Still Speaks For Me And I Still Speak For Him.

Around Here, However, We Don't Look Backwards For Very Long.

The Immediate Need For Education And Practice In Using Our Natural Resources Of Soil, Forest, Water, Wildlife And Areas Of Inspirational Beauty To The Best Advantage Of All, For This Generation And Others To Come, Is Again Apparent To Every Observant Citizen.

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.

There Is A Natural Hootchy-kootchy Motion To A Goldfish.

The More You Like Yourself, The Less You Are Like Anyone Else, Which Makes You Unique.

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.

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

I Have No Use For People Who Throw Their Weight Around As Celebrities, Or For Those Who Fawn Over You Just Because You Are Famous.

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.

I Don't Know If It's Art, But I Know I Like It.

Disneyland Is Dedicated To The Ideals, The Dreams, And The Hard Facts That Have Created America...

I Do Not Make Films Primarily For Children. I Make Them For The Child In All Of Us, Whether We Be Six Or Sixty.

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.

Today, We Are Shapers Of The World Of Tomorrow. That Is Plain Truth. There Is No Way We Can Duck The Responsibility, And There Is No Reason Why We Should.

Here Is The World Of Imagination, Hopes, And Dreams. In This Timeless Land Of Enchantment, The Age Of Chivalry, Magic And Make-believe Are Reborn - And Fairy Tales Come True. Fantasyland Is Dedicated To The Young-in-heart, To Those Who That When You Wish Upon A Star, Your Dreams Come True.

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

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

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

Most Of My Life I Have Done What I Wanted To Do. I Have Had Fun On The Job.

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.

Without Such Inspiration, We Would Rapidly Deteriorate And Finally Perish.

The Human Species, Although Happily Ridiculous At Times, Is Still Reaching For The Stars.

It's Because I Like You, I Don't Want To Be With You. It's A Complicated Emotion.

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.

Everyone Falls Down. Getting Back Up Is How You Learn How To Walk.

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.

It Is My Wish To Delight All Members Of The Family, Young And Old, Parent And Child.

The Ideal Set-up Would Be The Story Man, The Director, And The Layout Man, As Well As Musician, Operating As A Sort Of Story Unit. They All Should Be Keenly Interested In The Picture. No One In Person Should Donate To An Extent Where He Would Keep The Others From Entering Into The Production And Freely Expressing Themselves.

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.

When You're Working On A Project, Make Sure At Least One Person Knows What They Are Doing.

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

Animation Is Different From Other Parts. Its Language Is The Language Of Caricature. Our Most Difficult Job Was To Develop The Cartoon's Unnatural But Seemingly Natural Anatomy For Humans And Animals.

Disney Animation

If It Can Be Dreamed, It Can Be Done.

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.

When We Do Fantasy, We Must Not Lose Sight Of Reality.

A Lie Keeps Growing And Growing Until It's As Plain As The Nose On Your Face.

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.

I've Always Been Bored With Just Making Money. I've Wanted To Do Things; I Wanted To Build Things, To Get Something Going. What Money Meant To Me Was That I Was Able To Get Money To Do That For Me.

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.

To Some People, I Am Kind Of A Merlin Who Takes Lots Of Crazy Chances, But Rarely Makes Mistakes. I've Made Some Bad Ones, But Fortunately, The Successes Have Come Along Fast Enough To Cover Up The Mistakes. When You Go To Bat As Many Times As I Do, And Continually Improve Upon Your Mistakes, You're Bound To Get A Good Average.

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.

You Can Design And Create, And Build The Most Wonderful Place In The World. But It Takes People To Make The Dream A Reality.

We Dance, We Kiss, We Schmooze, We Carry On, We Go Home Happy. What Do You Say? Come On.

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.

Mickey Mouse Is, To Me, A Symbol Of Independence. He Was A Means To An End.

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

Do What You Do So Well That Those Who See You Do What You Do Are Going To Come Back To See You Do It Again And Tell Others That They Should See You Do What You Do.

I Have Long Felt That The Way To Keep Children Out Of Trouble Is To Keep Them Interested In Things.

Whether You Say You Can't Or You Can, You're Right.

Self Empowerment

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.

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

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

I'm Just Corny Enough To Like To Have A Story Hit Me Over The Heart.

A Good Story Can Take You On A Fantastic Journey.

Somehow I Can't Believe That There Are Any Heights That Can't Be Scaled By A Man Who Knows The Secrets Of Making Dreams Come True.

I Never Look Back, Darling. It Distracts From The Now.

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

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.

I've Wanted To Do Things; I Wanted To Build Things, To Get Something Going.

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

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

Don't Tell Me About The Problems - I Make The Problems.

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.

Why Be A Governor Or Senator When You Can Be King Of Disneyland?

We Have Created Characters And Animated Them In The Dimension Of Depth, Revealing Through Them To Our Perturbed World That The Things We Have In Common Far Outnumber And Outweigh Those That Divide Us.

Here Is Adventure. Here Is Romance. Here Is Mystery. Tropical Rivers – Silently Flowing Into The Unknown. The Unbelievable Splendor Of Exotic Flowers … The Eerie Sound Of The Jungle … With Eyes That Are Always Watching. This Is Adventureland.

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.

Happiness Is A State Of Mind.

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.

Look, You're Really Cute, But I Can't Understand What You're Saying

It's Something That Will Never Be Finished. Something That I Can Keep Developing...and Adding To.

Animation Can Explain Whatever The Mind Of Man Can Conceive.

Disneyland Is Like A Piece Of Clay: If There Is Something I Don't Like, I'm Not Stuck With It. I Can Reshape And Revamp.

Adults Are Only Kids Grown Up

People Spend Money When And Where They Feel Good.

If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It. Always Remember That This Whole Thing Was Started With A Dream And A Mouse.

I've Always Had A Feeling That Any Time You Can Experiment, You Ought To Do It. Because You Never Know What Will Happen.

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 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.

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

We Grew To Our Present Size Almost Against Ourselves. It Was Not A Deliberately Planned Commercial Venture In The Sense That I Sat Down And Said That We Were Going To Make Ourselves Into A Huge Financial Octopus. We Evolved By Necessity. We Did Not Sit Down And Say To Ourselves, 'how Can We Make A Big Pile Of Dough?' It Just Happened.

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.

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.

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.

The Worst Of Us Is Not Without Innocence, Although Buried Deeply It Might Be.

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.

Those Who Are Clever, Who Have A Brain, Never Understand Anything.

I Don't Like Formal Gardens. I Like Wild Nature. It's Just The Wilderness Instinct In Me, I Guess.

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.

Think Beyond Your Lifetime If You Want To Accomplish Something Truly Worthwhile.

Ideas Come From Curiosity.

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.

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

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes, When You're Fast Asleep.

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.

The Greatest Moments In Life Are Not Concerned With Selfish Achievements, But Rather With The Things We Do For Others

I Definitely Feel That We Cannot Do The Fantastic Things Based On The Real, Unless We First Know The Real.

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.

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

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 Wanted To Retain My Individuality. I Was Afraid Of Being Hampered By Studio Policies. I Knew If Someone Else Got Control, I Would Be Restrained.

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

Laughter Is No Enemy To Learning

If We Didn't Have Deadlines, We'd Stagnate.

Many Hands And Hearts And Minds Generally Contribute To Anyone's Notable Achievements.

Disneyland Will Never Be Completed. It Will Continue To Grow As Long As There Is Imagination Left In The World.

Positive Thinking

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

I Do Not Want To Make Teaching Films. If I Did, I Would Create A Separate Organization. It Is Not Higher Education That Interests Me So Much As General Mass Education.

I Resent The Limitations Of My Own Imagination.

Do What You Do So Well - And So Uniquely - That People Can't Resist Telling Others About You

If Anybody Gets Highbrow Around The Studio, Out He Goes.

Disneyland Is A Show.

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

The Mind Is The Pilot. We Think Of Things Before The Body Does Them.

Being A Celebrity Doesn't Even Seem To Keep The Fleas Off Our Dogs — And If Being A Celebrity Won't Give Me An Advantage Over A Couple Of Fleas, Then I Guess There Can't Be Much In Being A Celebrity After All.

We Did It Disneyland, In The Knowledge That Most Of The People I Talked To Thought It Would Be A Financial Disaster - Closed And Forgotten Within The First Year.

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

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.

Never Put Business Before Family.

Just Make Sure You Never Do Less Than Your Best

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

When You're Curious, You Find Lots Of Interesting Things To Do.

Laughter Is America's Most Important Export.

Over At Our Place, We’re Sure Of Just One Thing: Everybody In The World Was Once A Child. So In Planning A New Picture, We Don’t Think Of Grown-ups, And We Don’t Think Of Children. But Just Of That Fine, Clean, Unspoiled Spot Down Deep In Every One Of Us, That Maybe The World Has Made Us Forget.

All Right. I'm Corny. But I Think There's Just About A-hundred-and-forty-million People In This Country That Are Just As Corny As I Am.

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

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

To All Who Come To This Happy Place: Welcome. Disneyland Is Your Land. Here Age Relives Fond Memories Of The Past, And Here Youth May Savor The Challenge And Promise Of The Future. Disneyland Is Dedicated To The Ideals, The Dreams, And The Hard Facts That Have Created America; With The Hope That It Will Be A Source Of Joy And Inspiration To All The World.

I Don't Believe In Talking Down To Children. I Don't Believe In Talking Down To Any Certain Segment.

Well It Took Many Years. I Started With Many Ideas, Threw Them Away, Started All Over Again. And Eventually It Evolved Into What You See Today At Disneyland

Even Miracles Take A Little Time.

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.

To Captivate Our Varied And Worldwide Audience Of All Ages, The Nature And Treatment Of The Fairy Tale, The Legend, The Myth Have To Be Elementary, Simple. Good And Evil, The Antagonists Of All Great Drama In Some Guise, Must Be Believably Personalized. The Moral Ideals Common To All Humanity Must Be Upheld. The Victories Must Not Be Too Easy. Strife To Test Valor Is Still And Will Always Be The Basic Ingredient Of The Animated Tale, As Of All Screen Entertainments.

While The Worriers Are Worrying, The Planners Are Planning And The Accountants Are Figuring Out Why We Can't Afford It, I'm Busy Getting Started.

The Same Thing Could Have Happened On Halloween If Somebody In The Neighborhood Had Jumped Out And Scared Him.

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

In My View, Wholesome Pleasure, Sport, And Recreation Are As Vital To This Nation As Productive Work And Should Have A Large Share In The National Budget.

Money Doesn't Excite Me - My Ideas Excite Me.

I Am Interested In Entertaining People, In Bringing Pleasure, Particularly Laughter, To Others, Rather Than Being Concerned With "expressing" Myself With Obscure Creative Impressions.

Why Worry? If You've Done The Very Best You Can, Worrying Won't Make It Any Better

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

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.

Everything That Matters To We Can Work Out As Expected, In The Event That We Have The Strength To Seek After Them.

My Imagination Creates My Reality.

God Wisely Designed The Human Body So That We Can Neither Pat Our Own Backs Nor Kick Ourselves Too Easily. The More You Like Yourself, The Less You Are Like Anyone Else, Which Makes You Unique.

Why Would I Want To Be President? I'm The King Of Disneyland.

That's The Real Trouble With The World, Too Many People Grow Up.

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.

Family And Friends

I'd Say It's Been My Biggest Problem All My Life... It's Money. It Takes A Lot Of Money To Make These Dreams Come True.

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.

Think, Believe, Dream, And Dare.

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.

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

Let Your Heart Guide You...it Whispers So Listen Closely.

Somehow, I Can't Believe That There Are Any Heights That Can't Be Scaled By A Man By A Man Who Knows The Secret Of Making Dreams Come True. The Special Secret It Seems To Me Is Summarized In Four C's. They Are Curiosity, Courage, Confidence And Constancy. And The Greatest Of All Is Confidence. When You Believe In A Thing, Believe In It All The Way, Implicitly And Unquestionably.

People Look At You And Me To See What They Are Supposed To Be. And, If We Don't Disappoint Them, Maybe, Just Maybe, They Won't Disappoint Us.

My Business Is Making People, Especially Children, Happy. I Have Dedicated Much Of My Time To A Study Of The Problems Of Children.

Life Is Composed Of Lights And Shadows, And We Would Be Untruthful, Insincere, And Saccharine If We Tried To Pretend There Were No Shadows.

Do Not Be Fooled By Its Commonplace Appearance. Like So Many Things, It Is Not What Outside, But What Is Inside That Counts.

Family Fun Is As Necessary To Modern Living As A Kitchen Refrigerator.

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.

The Four Cs As Secret Of My Success-curiosity, Confidence,courage And Constancy.

Behind Every Great Amusement Park Is A Great Fan Site.

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 Always Like To Look On The Optimistic Side Of Life, But I Am Realistic Enough To Know That Life Is A Complex Matter.

I Am Not Interested In What A Man Can't Do. I Want To Know What He Can Do.

Well I Come From A Land, From A Far Away Place, Where The Caravan Camels Roam. They Will Cut Of Your Ear If They Don't Like Your Face, It's Babaric, But Hey, It's Home.

To Be Successful You Must Be Unique, You Must Be So Different That If People Want What You Have, They Must Come To You To Get It.

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

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

Just Remember, It All Started With A Mouse.

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

To Succeed, Work Hard, Never Give Up And Above All Cherish A Magnificent Obsession.

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.

Movies Can And Do Have Tremendous Influence In Shaping Young Lives.

I Believe In Being An Innovator.

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

All You've Got To Do Is Own Up To Your Ignorance Honestly, And You'll Find People Who Are Eager To Fill Your Head With Information.

I Would Rather Entertain And Hope That People Learned Something Than Educate People And Hope They Were Entertained.
