I never look back, darling. It distracts from the now.

Walt Disney

I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing – that it was all started by a mouse.

Walt Disney

I think it’s important to have a good hard failure when you’re young. I learned a lot out of that. Because it makes you kind of aware of what can happen to you. Because of it I’ve never had any fear in my whole life when we’ve been near collapse and all of that. I’ve never been afraid.

Walt Disney

I think of a child’s mind as a blank book. During the first years of his life, much will be written on the pages. The quality of that writing will affect his life profoundly.

Walt Disney

I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place – a place where adults and children can experience together some of the wonders of life, of adventure, and feel better because of it.

Walt Disney

I wanted to retain my individuality. I was afraid of being hampered by studio policies. I knew if someone else got control, I would be restrained.

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

I’ve always had a feeling that any time you can experiment, you ought to do it. Because you never know what will happen.

Walt Disney

If anybody gets highbrow around the studio, out he goes.

Walt Disney

If watching is all you’re going to do, then you’re going to watch your life go by without you.
