The money we spend on government. And it’s not a bit better government than we got for one-thirds the money two years ago.

We do more talking progress than we do progressing.

We had a great lunch. (Senator) Capper paid for it. The Republican pays, as usual. And everything that the Democrats are doin' now, the Republicans pay for it. Everybody asks me, Will, how long is this going to go on, spending all this money and everything going like this? I says, Well, it will go on just as long as the Republicans has got any money. That's all I know about it.

Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.

You would be surprised what there is to see in this great country within 200 miles of where any of us live. I don’t care what state or what town.

They may call me a rube and a hick, but I'd a lot rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge than the man who sold it.

Trouble with American transportation is that you can get somewhere quicker than you can think of a reason for going there. What we need now is a new excuse to go somewhere.

We have been just going like a house afire, and we couldn’t see any reason why we shouldn’t keep right on burning. Our tastes were acquired on credit, and we wanted to keep on enjoying 'em on credit.
I shall proceed as rapidly as time and circumstances will permit, hoping that a few of my contemporaries will care to grow old with me while learning.
The political machine works because it is a united minority acting against a divided majority.
Today we are aware of the high price that had to be paid for it [material progress] and that we will continue to have to pay, and we are by no means still certain that the price is not too high. We distrust the optimistic assertion that technology and the machine are completely innocent of all this and that the blame rests squarely on man alone who is using them in the wrong way and will just have to learn the right one...The problem of the machine - which happens to be something else than just a highly developed tool - is not merely one of its use, but also one of the machine itself, which, following its own laws and imposing them on man, extracts its tribute from him.
Walt Disney, fully Walter Elias "Walt" Disney
I’ve been selfishly indulging myself as an American… as a United States citizen… enjoying all privileges that one has as a citizen, and it’s only times like this that you sort of wake up to … what it really means to be a citizen.

We felt that the public, and especially the children, like animals that are cute and little. I think we are rather indebted to Charlie Chaplin for the idea. We wanted something appealing, and we thought of a tiny bit of a mouse that would have something of the wistfulness of Chaplin- a little fellow trying to do the best he could.

I don't want the public to see the world they live in while they're in the Park [Disneyland]. I want to feel they're in another world.
