Walt Disney said a lot of inspiring things, but he also said a lot of things that at the time, I imagine he never knew would be remembered long after his death. One example, is in the movie Blades of Glory, one of Disney's fairly well known quotes, also spoken by the actors, was on a huge banner on the ice rink wall. "If you can dream it, you can do it." I love to find these little pieces of Disney Magic throughout the every day, but it's even more amazing to think that something someone might have said in casual conversation, in a letter, or to his staff to motivate them, might be used 30, 40 or 50 years later, still motivating and encouraging others! Walt Disney had a lot of important things to say, things that are relevant, even today. Here 10 of my favorite Walt Disney Quotes you may never have heard before! 1. We are not trying to entertain the critics. I'll take my chances with the public. 2. A man should never neglect his family for business 3. Get in. Not choose but get it. Be part of it and then move up. I've always has that feeling about things. And it upsets me so much when people want to get into something but they're too darn choosy about what they want to do. Get in while you have a chance to at least look and see, and out if it might come something. 4. All the adversity I've has in my life, all my troubles and obstacles have strengthened me. 5. There is more treasure in books than in all the pirates' loot on Treasure Island and at the bottom of the Spanish Main...best of all you can enjoy these riches every day of your life. 6. Never get bored or cynical. Yesterday is a thing of the past. 7. The way to keep children out of trouble is to keep them interested in things. Lecturing to children is no answer to delinquency. Preaching won't keep kids out of trouble. But keeping their minds occupied will. 8. Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language. 9. Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have the children's approach to life. They're people who don't give a hang to what the Jonses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They're not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought -- sometime's it isn't much, either. 10. I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing, that it was all started by a mouse. Did you have any favorite quotes from Walt Disney? Comment below, or visit our Facebook and share there!
