To me, today, at age sixty-one, all prayer, by the humble or highly placed, has one thing in common: supplication for strength and inspiration to carry on the best human impulses which should bind us together for a better world.
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
Believe in your dreams, no matter how impossible they seem.
The difference in winning & losing is most often, not quitting.
While the worriers are worrying, the planners are planning and the accountants are figuring out why we can't afford it, I'm busy getting started.
I believe firmly in the efficacy of religion, in its powerful influence on a person's whole life. It helps immeasurably to meet the storms and stress of life and keep you attuned to the Divine inspiration. Without inspiration, we would perish.
You reach a point where you don't work for money.
I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life... it's money. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.
To all that come to this happy place, welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America... with hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.
Without inspiration, we would perish.
Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive.
Our greatest national resource is the minds of our children.
