Motivational words from Walt Disney

Walt Disney
Walt Disney was a creative visionary. Just look at the legacy that he left – Disney Land, Disney World, Disney TV, Disney movies and the stable of Disney characters.
Fortunately, some of Walt Disney’s words were captured for our motivation. Enjoy the Disney quotes below. Be sure to credit them to Walt Disney.
—————
“We are not trying to entertain the critics. I’ll take my chances with the public.”
“You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.”
“When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do. And one thing it takes to accomplish something is courage.”
“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”
“I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.”
“When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it’s because he’s so human; and that is the secret of his popularity.”
“I first saw the site for Disneyland back in 1953, In those days it was all flat land – no rivers, no mountains, no castles or rocket ships – just orange groves, and a few acres of walnut trees.”
