Walt Disney’s Life

I love Mickey Mouse more thanany woman I have ever known. 

“The era we are living in today is a dream of coming true.”

“It's something that will never be finished,” Disney once said of Disneyland. “Something that I can keep developing and adding to.” 

“When we consider a project, we really study it – not just the surface idea, but everything about it,” 

“Somehow I can’t believe there are any heights that

can’t be scaled by a man who knows the

secret of making dreams come true,”

“This special secret, itseems to me, can be

summarized in four C’s. They are Curiosity,

Confidence, Courage, andConstancy and the greatest of these is

Confidence.”

 “When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.”

“When we get into a new project, we believe in it all the way. We have confidence in our ability to do it right. And we work hard to

do the best possible job.”

“We didn’t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money…we did it 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.” 

“And they all got into it and we were doing it because we loved to do it.” 

 “Disneyland is a work of love.” 

“When we opened Disneyland, a lot of people got the impression 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,” said Disney.

“When you’re curious, you find lots ofinteresting things to do,” Disney said. “And one thing it takes to accomplishsomething is courage.” 

“If you can dream it, you can do it.”

“Think beyond your lifetime, if you want to do something truly great.” 

“It will be a community of tomorrow that will never becompleted, but will alwaysbe introducing and testing

and demonstrating new materials and systems.” 

“I don't like formal gardens,” said Disney. “I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess."

‘Well,’ I said, ‘sometimes Ithink of myself as a little bee. I go from one area of the studio to another, andgather pollen, and sort of

stimulate everybody.’ I guess that’s the job I do.”

“You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world,” he said. “But it

takes people to make the dream a reality.”

“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.” 

“Always remember that this whole thing was

started with a dream and a mouse.”

“You reach a point where you don't work for money.”

“All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles

and obstacles, have strengthened me,” 

“You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you,”

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”

“I always like to look on theoptimistic side of life, but I amrealistic enough to know that

life is a complex matter.”
