DANNY KAYE

To travel is to take a journey into yourself.

There is a danger in democracy itself.

I feel that the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life is to be associated with UNICEF.

I believe deeply that children are more powerful than oil, more beautiful than rivers, more precious than any other natural resource a country can have.

When I stopped making films, they were getting on to the more realistic films and the explicit films and all. They were depicting life as it is, and some of it was unpleasant. I gradually moved away from that.

I am a wife-made man.

I'm just an entertainer. All I want to be is funny. I never aspired to play Hamlet.

I wasn't born a fool. It took work to get this way.

Who needs the protection of the Bill of Rights most? The weak, the most vulnerable in society.

You bet I arrived overnight. Over a few hundred nights in the Catskills, in vaudeville, in clubs and on Broadway.

Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can at it.

The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle; the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true!

Life is a blank canvas, and you need to throw all the paint on it you can.

The greatest natural resource that any country can have is its children.

I became an entertainer not because I wanted to but because I was meant to.

I believe deeply that children are more powerful than oil, more beautiful than rivers, more precious than any other natural resource a country can have. I feel that the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life is to be associated with UNICEF.

Thumbelina what's the difference if you're very small? When your heart is full of love you're nine feet tall!

A jester unemployed is nobodys fool.

I can't say what Danny Kaye is like in private life. There are too many of them.

When what's left of you gets around to what's left to be gotten, what's left to be gotten won't be worth getting whatever it is you've got left.
