“A man should never neglect his family for business.”

“Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.”

“Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.”

“You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.”

“I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life... it's money. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true.”

“I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.”

“We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.”

“I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.”

“I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.”

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

“I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.”

“Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.”

“We did it Disneyland, 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.”
