All WALT DISNEY Quotes about “Children”

“That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up.”
“All of our dreams can come true...”
“Disneyland really began when my two daughters were very young. Saturday was always Daddy's Day and I would take them to the merry-go-round, and sit on a bench eating peanuts while they rode. And sitting there alone, I felt there should be something built, some kind of family park where parents and children could have fun together.”
“We believed in our idea - a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.”
“I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us, whether we be six or sixty.”
“It's a mistake not to give people a chance to learn to depend on themselves while they are young.”
“Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination. But just as a muscle grows flabby with disuse, so the bright imagination of a child pales in later years if he ceases to exercise it.”
“I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment.”
“Children are people, and they should have to reach to learn about things, to understand things, just as adults have to reach if they want to grow in mental stature. Life is composed of lights and shadows, and we would be untruthful, insincere, and saccharine if we tried to pretend there were no shadows. Most things are good, and they are the strongest things; but there are evil things too, and you are not doing a child a favor by trying to shield him from reality. The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil.”
“Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource - the minds of our children.”
“The important thing is to teach a child that good can always triumph over evil...”
“Our greatest national resource is the minds of our children.”
“My business is making people, especially children, happy.”
“Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well, I won't do that.”
“Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have the children's approach to life. They're people who don't give a hang what the Joneses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They are not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought - sometimes it isn't much, either.”
“Both my study of Scripture and my career in entertaining children have taught me to cherish them.”
“Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination.”
“I don't believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn't treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should.”
“The American child is a highly intelligent human being - characteristically sensitive, humorous, open-minded, eager to learn, and has a strong sense of excitement, energy, and healthy curiosity about the world in which he lives. Lucky indeed is the grown-up who manages to carry these same characteristics into adult life. It usually makes for a happy and successful individual.”
“I have long felt that the way to keep children out of trouble is to keep them interested in things. Lecturing to children is no answer to delinquency. Preaching won't keep youngsters out of trouble, but keeping their minds occupied will.”
“Adults are interested if you don't play down to the little 2 or 3 year olds or talk down. I don't believe in talking down to children. I don't believe in talking down to any certain segment. I like to kind of just talk in a general way to the audience. Children are always reaching.”
“Or heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.”
“Over at our place, weâ€™re sure of just one thing: everybody in the world was once a child. So in planning a new picture, we donâ€™t think of grown-ups, and we donâ€™t think of children. But just of that fine, clean, unspoiled spot down deep in every one of us, that maybe the world has made us forget.”
“In my work I try to reach and speak to that innocence, showing it the fun and joy of living; showing it that laughter is healthy; showing it that the human species, although happily ridiculous at times, is still reaching for the stars.”
