Walt's Quotes

paramedicthad · 02-09-2008, 07:59 PM

Forgive me if there is already a thread on this. I've searched and not found one. This really isn't a rumor, but I wasn't quite sure which category this topic fits under...

I'm wondering if there is a list of "favorite" quotes of Walt Disney's?

I've been a fan of Walt Disney as long as I can recall, although I'm just now finding time to really research the man and the organization.

I'll be buying books about Walt soon, but truthfully I find this site to be one of the largest vaults of knowledge available.

I could embarrass myself by telling you stories of just how excited I get about the Disney parks I get to visit once every three or four years, and when I hear or tell stories about Walt Disney... But that's for another thread.

So... Do you have a favorite quote? Do you know about a list somewhere of his quotes? Even better, is there a reason or story to go along with why a particular thing Walt said or did is your favorite? (I'm talking about lesser known things here, not the obvious "He built DL" and the like!!)

I look forward to your replies!!

There is a book called "The Quotable Walt Disney" that is full of wonderful quotes made by Walt Disney. I use many of them on my Outlook E-mail at work.
Here's a link to the book:

you might be able to find a lot of them on some other sites if you just google it. but a book would be better... i think.

they also make pins of his quotes. I tried to collect all of them, but cant find a lot of them anymore.

I will have to look for that book! We just watched "The Man Behind The Myth"... What a fantastic documentary. My wife is making fun of me for shushing her when I couldn't hear and for laughing and crying all while watching a documentary. This film also pointed me to the Walt Disney Foundation Museum website. I had never heard of it until today.... waltdisney dot com (seems I'm not allowed to post urls just yet... too much time reading and not enough posting I guess.)

Anyways, thanks for the tips.

One of my favorite quotes is "It is FUN to do the IMPOSSIBLE!"

Do you think "Quotable Walt Disney" will help with being in the Board of Directors (if I make it one day) in helping the company to run traditionally as it was meant to be, the way walt wanted?
