Disney is known for telling stories, evoking emotions, and even providing some inspiration.

And sometimes you want to have some of those motivating words of Disney magic front and center to serve as a little reminder and to sprinkle a little pixie dust in your everyday life.

As much as we’d love to be able to visit the Disney parks every day, to have Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom in our backyard so we can experience that magic on a daily basis, our lives (and our wallets) can’t always accommodate that compulsion. So, instead, we infuse a little Disney magic in our every day lives with small reminders, like a souvenir from our last trip, recreating a favorite Disney meal or snack at home, and even listening to Disney music and soundtracks. Anything to help make our non-vacation lives a little magical.

We understand that desire to be immersed in that transformative Disney experience (probably better than most). So, we’ve put together some of the best Disney quotes that you can put up in your home, your baby nursery, cross-stitch on your bath towels, or any place you’d like a little reminder and inspiration from Disney and their heartwarming films.

EVERY Baby Disney Character Ranked from Best To Still Cute

Love for Little Ones

Disney movies are filled with touching moments and little nuggets of knowledge that are perfect for the little nuggets in our lives! Though there seems to be an endless supply of cute sayings and love-filled sentiments to choose from, we’ve narrowed it down to some of our favorites.

“Sometimes the littlest things take up the most room in your heart.” – Winnie the Pooh

“You are so precious to me, sweet as can be, baby of mine.” – Dumbo

“Never grow up!” – Peter Pan

“I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen.” – Winnie the Pooh

Optimism

The heroes and heroines of Disney’s films and shows come from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures, but one thing they all seem to have in common is their positive outlook and endless hope that everything will turn out in the end. From princesses to circus critters, they all seem to share that eternal optimism, so let’s take a look at some of our favorite hope-filled quotes.

“If you keep on believing, the wish that you make will come true.” – Cinderella

“Think happy thoughts.” – Peter Pan

“Remember, you’re the one who can fill the world with sunshine.” – Snow White

“Don’t just fly, soar.” – Dumbo

“Reach for the sky.” – Toy Story

Perseverance

Though Disney films and shows are filled with magic, pixie dust, and wishes, perseverance is also a trait you’ll find in most films. Our favorite heroes and heroines dream and wish (and sing about it a lot), but you’ll also notice that they never give up. That determination and perseverance is a quality that we all admire, and we’ve collected some of our favorite phrases to bring that sentiment into our homes and lives.

“The difference between winning and losing is often not quitting.” – Walt Disney

“In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.” – Mary Poppins

“Today is a good day to try.” – Hunchback of Notre Dame

“Our fate lives within us. You only have to be brave enough to see it.” – Brave

“Giving up is for rookies.” – Hercules

“You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” – Winnie the Pooh

“Even miracles take a little time.” – Cinderella

“Sometimes the right path is not always the easiest one.” – Pocahontas

Identity

These beloved stories are more than mere entertainment. We get to see characters experience challenges, opportunities, achievements, and connections — and we get to go along that journey with them. Though few of us will win the “lost shoe lottery” and get a Prince and “happily ever after” in real life, we can relate to our favorite characters staying true to themselves in the darkest of times, and keeping their hope and faith alive with some determination, love, and support from their community, friends, and family (and sometimes furry sidekicks).

“Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it.” – The Incredibles

“A true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart.” – Hercules

“The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.” – Mulan

“Sometimes our strengths lie beneath the surface. Far beneath, in some cases” – Moana

Generally Good Advice

Disney films and characters may not be at the top of your list of places you look for good advice, but that doesn’t mean you won’t find some gems hidden in there among the fun and sentiment.

“If you don’t think, then you shouldn’t talk.” – Alice in Wonderland

“Always let your conscience be your guide.” – Pinocchio

“If you focus on what you left behind, you will never see what lies ahead! “– Ratatouille
