We are more often frightened than hurt, and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never regrets.

He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss.

Amid the seeming confusion of our mysterious world, individuals are so nicely adjusted to a system, and systems to one another and to a whole, that, by stepping aside for a moment, a man exposes himself to a fearful risk of losing his place forever.

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

Do not stop thinking of life as an adventure. You have no security unless you live bravely, excitingly, imaginatively.

I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn’t give this game of life everything he’s got.

The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination, imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.

The heights by great men reached and kept Where not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.

A man, to carry on a successful business, must have imagination. He must see things as in a vision, a dream of the whole thing. A man can cultivate this faculty only by an appreciation for the finer things in life.

When you consider things like the stars, our affairs don't seem to matter very much, do they?

Appearances to the mind are of four kinds. Things either are what they appear to be; or they neither are, nor appear to be; or they are, and do not appear to be; or they are not, and yet appear to be. Rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man’s task.

Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control. It is determined or the insect, as well for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.

Where the senses fail us, reason must step in.

What is a man in nature? Nothing in relation to the infinite, everything in relation to nothing, a mean between nothing and everything.

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

You write in order to change the world…the world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even but a millimetre the way people look at reality, then you change it.

Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.
