Father of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck: Walt Disney Quotes

By , About.com Guide

Can you imagine childhood without Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, or Goofy? Walt Disney, the visionary behind these animated friends was no ordinary person. He was a multi-talented entertainer and envisioned the impossible: making cartoons walk, talk, and do funny stuff. The founder of The Walt Disney Company is not with us any more. But his dream factory continues to innovate with new forms of entertainment year after year. These Disney quotes are a tribute to the master animator.

"We are not trying to entertain the critics. I'll take my chances with the public."

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

"I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter."

"You’re dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway."
