Quotes
  • You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
  • I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
  • 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. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.
  • It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
  • The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
  • I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.
  • All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
  • We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
  • There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.
  • You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality.
  • If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember this whole thing was started by a mouse.
  • I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.
  • I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
Walter Elias "Walt" Disney was an American business magnate, animator, cartoonist, producer, director, screenwriter, philanthropist and voice actor. A major figure within the American animation industry and throughout the world, he is regarded as an international icon, well known for his influence and contributions to the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As a Hollywood business mogul, he, along with his brother Roy O. Disney, co-founded Walt Disney Productions, which later became one of the best-known motion picture production companies in the world. The corporation is now known as The Walt Disney Company and had an annual revenue of approximately US$45 billion in the 2013 financial year. As an animator and entrepreneur, Disney was particularly noted as a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, for whom Disney himself provided the original voice. During his lifetime he received four honorary Academy Awards and won 22 Academy Awards from a total of 59 nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual in history. Disney also won seven Emmy Awards and gave his name to the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the U.S., as well as the international resorts like Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, and Hong Kong Disneyland.
