We all know who Walt Disney is. In case you don’t, Disney is basically the genius behind all our favorite cartoon characters like Mickey Mouse, Aladdin, Winnie the Pooh, and – who can forget? – Timon and Pumbaa.

While Disney is said to have been cryogenically frozen and his frozen corpse stored beneath the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ ride at Disneyland, this is, sadly, untrue. Another rumor is that he was quite the racist back in the day, and although he grew up in a time where just about everybody was racially insensitive, he successfully campaigned for an Honorary Academy Award for James Baskett who starred in the controversial ‘Song of the South’. And let’s not forget the claims that he was anti-Semitic.

Disney was never a stranger to controversy, even during his lifetime, but he is widely credited for releasing the first animated feature film, ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’, opening the first theme park in 1955, and for being the winner of 26 Academy Awards.

If there’s anything his life story and career teaches us is that anything’s possible if you put your heart to it. And this collection of motivational quotes from Disney aim to inspire you to do just that.
