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

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.

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

Whatever We Accomplish Is Due To The Combined Effort.

Combined Effort

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.

As The Original 'mary Poppins' Budget Of Five Million Dollars Continued To Grow, I Never Saw A Sad Face Around The Entire Studio. And This Made Me Nervous. I Knew The Picture Would Have To Gross 10 Million Dollars For Us To Break Even. But Still There Was No Negative Head-shaking. No Prophets Of Doom. Even Roy Was Happy. He Didn't Even Ask Me To Show The Unfinished Picture To A Banker. The Horrible Thought Struck Me - Suppose The Staff Had Finally Conceded That I Knew What I Was Doing.

If I Depended On Critics And Children To Make A Living I'd Grow Broke.

Tomorrow Can Be A Wonderful Age.

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.

Togetherness, For Me, Means Teamwork. In My Business Of Motion Pictures And Television Entertainment, Many Minds And Skillful Hands Must Collaborate...t He Work Seeks To Comprehend The Spiritual And Material Needs And Yearnings Of Gregarious Humanity.

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

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.

We Felt That The Public, And Especially The Children, Like Animals That Are Cute And Little. I Think We Are Rather Indebted To Charlie Chaplin For The Idea.

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.

Ideas Come From Curiosity.

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.

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.

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.

The Past Can Hurt. But The Way I See It, You Can Either Run From It, Or Learn From It.

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

We Seem To Know When To 'tap The Heart.' Others Have Hit The Intellect. We Can Hit Them In All Emotional Way. Those Who Appeal To The Intellect Only Appeal To A Very Limited Group. The Real Thing Behind This Is: We Are In The Motion Picture Business, Only We Are Drawing Them Instead Of Photographing Them.

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

Times And Conditions Change So Rapidly That We Must Keep Our Aim Constantly Focused On The Future.

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

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

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.

Family And Friends

I Have Long Felt That The Way To Keep Children Out Of Trouble Is To Keep Them Interested In Things. Lecturing To Children Is No Answer To Delinquency. Preaching Won't Keep Youngsters Out Of Trouble, But Keeping Their Minds Occupied Will.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

If I Haven't Thought About Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast, I Consider The Day Wasted.

Impossible Things

Today We Are Shapers Of The World Of Tomorrow.

I Am In No Sense Of The Word A Great Artist, Not Even A Great Animator; I Have Always Had Men Working For Me Whose Skills Were Greater Than My Own. I Am An Idea Man.

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.
