As a quote junkie, I have found that some of my favorite inspirational quotes come from nothing other than Disney movies. We've all grown up with Disney. It's part of our childhood. It was part of our dreams. But after re-watching Disney movies at an older age, I realized that there are so many good morals embedded in these movies.
1. “Just keep swimming” – Finding Nemo
2. “The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of them all.” - Mulan
3. “The most predictable thing about life is its unpredictability.” – Ratatouille
4. “The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.” – The Lion
5. “Our fate lives within us. You only have to be brave enough to see it.” - Brave
6. “You must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from. Your only limit is your soul.” – Ratatouille
7. “If watchin’ is all you’re gonna do, then you’re gonna watch your life go by without you.” - The Hunchback of Notre Dame
8. “A true hero isn’t measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart.” - Hercules
9. “The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up.” - Dumbo
10. “Like so many things, it is not what’s outside, but what is inside that counts.” – Aladdin
12. “Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved.” – Winnie the Pooh
13.“If you focus on what you left behind, you will never see what lies ahead.” – Ratatouille
14. “Giving up is for rookies.” – Hercules
Disney teaches us to believe in ourselves. To keep dreaming. To look at the bigger picture. As cliche as this sounds, these ideas are often belittled and forgotten in our daily lives. I love Disney movies even as an adult, because they remind me of the confidence and dreams I had as a child. Have faith in yourselves and keep dreaming.
