In the Land of Dreams, you can see all your wishes come true, and have adventures beyond imagination.

You will be a finer character if you go along on your own, than if you copy other people. You see, what you do, you do whole-heartedly - so if you play the fool, naturally other things will suffer.

A clown needn't be the same out of the ring as he has to be when he's in it. If you look at photographs of clowns when they're just being ordinary men, they've got quite sad faces.

I'm good at exploring roofs. You never know when that kind of thing comes in useful.

It wasn’t a bit of good fighting grown-ups. They could do exactly as they liked.

I think people make their own faces as they grow.

I don’t know why, but the meals we have on picnics always taste so much nicer than the ones we have indoors.

Mothers were much too sharp. They were like dogs.

Our failures are those who do not learn these things in the years they are here.

We all have good and bad in us, and we have to strive all the time to make the good cancel out the bad. We can never be perfect – we all of us do mean or wrong things at times – but we can at least make amends by trying to cancel out the wrong by doing something worthy later on.

Never take the easy way out if it means being dishonest or untruthful.

Adventures always come to the adventurous, there's no doubt about that!

You can’t possibly do anything if you think you can’t. But you can do impossible things sometimes if you think you can.
