“It doesn't matter that you didn't believe in us," said Mr. Ibis. "We believed in you.”

“We make choices. No one else can live our lives for us. And we must confront and accept the consequences of our actions.”

“How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book!”

“Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient.”

Disneyland is the star, everything else is in the supporting role.

All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.

I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters - to make them personalities.

I started, actually, to make my first animated cartoon in 1920. Of course, they were very crude things then and I used sort of little puppet things.

Humor is the most honest of emotions. Applause for a speech can be insincere, but with humor, if the audience doesn't like it there's no faking it.

Faith, indeed, has up to the present not been able to move real mountains.... But it can put mountains where there are none. Most people would like to be delivered from temptation but would like it to keep in touch.

“Your success and happiness lie in you.”

“Effort is measured by setting goals and getting results.”
