15th May: L. Frank Baum

L. (Lyman) Frank Baum, who wrote Wizard of Oz, was born on this date in 1856. Here are some things he said:


  1. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
  2. No thief, however skilful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.
  3. Never give up... No one knows what's going to happen next.
  4. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid.
  5. Once I had brains, and a heart also; so, having tried them both, I should much rather have a heart.
  6. Never question the truth of what you fail to understand, for the world is filled with wonders.
  7. A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.
  8. Everything in life is unusual until you get accustomed to it.
  9. Do not despair whatever happens for behind the clouds is always the rainbow.
  10. It isn't what we are, but what folks think we are, that counts in this world.
