We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.
A good concert, if you're kind of relaxed, it can do something to you. It's sort of an emotional break you get by listening to music.
Happiness is a state of mind. You can be happy or you can be unhappy.
Always, as you travel, assimilate the sounds and sights of the world.

The idea of Disneyland is a simple one. It will be a place for people to find happiness and knowledge.
A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there.
I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination.
The inclination of my life...has been to do things & make things which will give pleasure to people in new and amazing ways.
Tomorrow will be better for as long as America keeps alive the ideals of freedom and a better life.
