Everything that matters to we can work out as expected, in the event that we have the strength to seek after them.
Walt Disney -
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.

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.

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.

You know, the only way I've found to make these pictures is with animators. You can't seem to do it with accountants and bookkeepers.
Walt Disney -
I'm not the perfectionist anymore. It's my staff. They're the ones always insisting on doing something better and better.
Walt Disney -
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.
Walt Disney -
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 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.
Walt Disney -
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.
Walt Disney -
Disneyland is like Alice stepping through the Looking Glass; to step through the portals of Disneyland will be like entering another world
Walt Disney -
It's a mistake not to give people a chance to learn to depend on themselves while they are young.
Walt Disney -
Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long.
Walt Disney -
We're not trying to entertain the critics ... I'll take my chances with the public.

I believe in being a motivator.
Walt Disney -
Moving pictures can be and will be new and fresh and exciting as long as there are ideas and talent in the world.
Walt Disney -
Disneyland is a work of love...Drawing up plans and dreaming of what I could do, everything. It was just something I kind of kept playing around with.
Walt Disney -
If I haven't thought about six impossible things before breakfast, I consider the day wasted.
Walt Disney -
Faith I have, in myself, in humanity, in the worthwhileness of the pursuits in entertainment for the masses. But wide awake, not blind faith, moves me. My operations are based on experience, thoughtful observation and warm fellowship with my neighbors at home and around the world.
Walt Disney -
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.

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.
Walt Disney -
I have long felt that the way to keep children out of trouble is to keep them interested in things.
Walt Disney -
When I'm dead I don't want a funeral. I want people to remember me alive.

Think beyond your lifetime if you want to accomplish something truly worthwhile.
