Walt Disney Quotes about Be yourself and Courage

 

Be Yourself

Childishness? I think it’s the equivalent of never losing your sense of humor. I mean, there’s a certain something that you retain. It’s the equivalent of not getting so stuffy that you can’t laugh at others.”

“I am corny, you know? But I think there are just about 140 million people in this country who are just as corny as I am.”

“I am in no sense of the word a great artist, not even a great animator; I have always had men working for me whose skills were greater than my own. I am an idea man.”

“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.”

“The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.”

“Our heritage and ideals, our code and standards – the things we live by and teach our children – are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.”

“When I was a kid, a book I read advised young artist to be themselves. That decided it for me. I was a corny kind of guy, so I went in for corn.”

Courage

“All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.”

“Courage is the main quality of leadership, in my opinion, no matter where it is exercised. Usually it implies some risk — especially in new undertakings. Courage to initiate something and to keep it going, pioneering and adventurous spirit to blaze new ways, often, in our land of opportunity.”

“Faith I have, in myself, in humanity, in the worthwhileness of the pursuits in entertainment for the masses.  But wide awake, not blind faith, moves me.”

“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, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C’s. They are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage, and Constancy and the greatest of these is Confidence. When you believe a thing, believe it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably.”

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

“When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do. And one thing it takes to accomplish something is courage.”

Walt Disney Quotes Animation

  “All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of  fantasy and fable.” “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.” “Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature. Our most difficult job was to develop the cartoon’s unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals.” “Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.” “At first the cartoon medium was just a novelty, but it never really began to hit until we had more than tricks… until we developed personalities. We had to get beyond getting a laugh. They may roll in the   aisles, but that doesn’t mean you have a great picture. You have pathos in the thing.” “I take great pride in the art...

  “Every choice you make has an end result.”   “Everybody says they want to be free. Take the train off the tracks and it’s free-but it can’t go anywhere.”   “It’s not the situation, but whether we react, or respond, to the situation that’s important.”   “It’s not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you.”   “It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.”   “Just remember, when you should grab something, grab it; when you should let go, let go.”   “Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the problem. We all have twenty-four hour days.”   “The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now.”   “To respond is positive, to react is negative.”   “When you exercise your freedom to express yourself at the lowest level, you ultimately condemn yourself to live at that level.”   “With integrity you have no...
