Today we are shapers of the world of tomorrow.
No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true.
I love the nostalgic myself. I hope we never lose some of the things of the past.
When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.
To the youngsters of today, I say "Believe in the future, the world is getting better; there still is plenty of opportunity." Why, would you believe it, when I was a kid I thought it was already too late for me to make good at anything.
I function better when things are going badly than when they're as smooth as whipped cream.
People often ask me if I know the secret of success and if I could tell others how to make their dreams come true. My answer is, you do it by working.
Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.
That's what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.
Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.
The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.
Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.
When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.
I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.
