"In the beginning, you must think of nothing but silence, a silence so vast that ears can't hear it. Great trees like the pillars of the temple with furs like green carpets underneath; While above, under the dome of heaven where live the winged ones. The wind woods restless whispering across the roof of the world. These are the eaters of grass in a world of tall flesh. Early the little fawns must learn the lesson, Feet theirs make no noise, eyes that see in the dark, ears that heard the Leopard leaving his lair. For the Leopard lays by the law of claws and horns and fang. He will kill for hunger, and eat therof. But he'll never kill for killing sake, a law that all men break but jungle folks obey. These are the lords of the jungle, tribe of Hathi, the Silent ones. They go their way, eaters of grass in a world of carnage. But the wolves are the true hunters of the jungle and likes hunt while stick to their clan with a strict regard for hunting calls and tribal law. Free companion of the woods, they may fight and quarrel among their selfs and the strongest wolf must take the leadership. Yet jungle folks says that the wisest among them is the tribe of Baloo the bear He is a teacher of the jungle law. Yet there is one who knows no law. The barrel bodied mugger, the Crocodile. With his chin in his shallows and lust in his cold heart, hopping to drag dawn to the deeps all who wonder in his river banks. And in the legends of the jungle, there is a black prince; shrewdest of the lords of claw, horn and fang. As bold as a buffalo and as reckless as a wounded elephant. But the voice is soft as wild honey dripping from the tree and prier and master and afraid. Bagheera, the black panther. And now behold the villain of my tale; the killer, the man killer, the assassin who brought murder to the jungle clans. Shere Khan, the Tiger. It is said that when the first kill when he was Cain of some poor Abel of the glades; when he run from the scene of his first crime, the trees and creepers whip him with their branches and striped his yellow hide with the Mark of Cain. This evil lord they must have his dishlickers, his bullies for attendance. Tabaqui, the jackal, and the hyena; hungry for the scraps of the murderous master's feast. But my tale is not alone about outcast and heroes. I will tell you also of the rock snake Kaa; the wise one, the Oracle who taught Mother Eve the speech men use for trickery and sin. What is the book of life itself, but man's war with nature; the struggle between village and jungle. Under the mantle of wild creepers and great trees, many ruin cities lays forgotten in the pages of time where a thousand war chariots proclaim the might emigrated king before whom all men bow their heads nothing remains but a trellis for wild figs to sun upon. But what of the great Maharaja, the loser in this battles? He has left many such palaces to his cousins, the monkey folk. The Bander-logs, the outcast of the jungle. First, you must picture who I was, Milords. Buldeo, the mighty hunter. Was a long time ago and very far away, on a summer evening in the Seeonee hills"

"We're going to have a marketplace, and a temple, and a mighty city. Aye, we'll have all that if we can beat the jungle. But have you in your hundred years seen man win a war with nature?"

"Verily, you would have all of India in your picture. Nay, you would have the book of the jungle to read in my eyes."

"It's Out of this World!"

"I'll show you the mysteries--the wonders of the jungle's savage heart!"

"[to the Wicked Witch of the West] Rubbish! You have no power here! Begone, before somebody drops a house on you too!"

"Only bad witches are ugly."

"[to Dorothy] Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"

"[to the Lion] You, my friend, are a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate impression that just because you run away you have no courage; you're confusing courage with wisdom. Back where I come from, there are men called Heroes, and they have no more courage than you do! But they have one thing you haven't got: a medal."

"[to the Tin Man] Back where I come from, there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. And their hearts are no bigger than yours is! But they have one thing you haven't got: a testimonial. […] A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others."

"Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma."

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! The Great Oz has spoken!"

"I AM OZ.... the Great and Powerful! Who are you?"

"[last words; screams shrilly] YOU CURSED BRAT! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE! [melts] I'M MELTING! MELTING! Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?! OHH! LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT! I'M GOING! Ohhhh – Ohhhhhhhhhh!"

"[cackling] Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it. Why, my little party is just beginning."

"Take your army to the Haunted Forest and bring me that girl and her dog. Do what you like with the others, but I want her alive and unharmed. They'll give you no trouble, I promise you that. I've sent a little insect on ahead to take the fight out of them. [cackles] Take special care of those ruby slippers. I want those most of all. Now, fly! Fly! [The winged monkeys fly out of the castle] Fly, fly, fly!"

"[to Glinda] Very well – I'll bide my time. [to Dorothy] And as for you, my fine lady, it's true I can't attend to you here and now as I'd like; but just try to stay out of my way – just try! I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too! [With a burst of laughter, she whirls around and vanishes in a burst of smoke and fire and a clap of thunder.]"

"In another hour, I'll be king of the forest! LONG LIVE THE KING!"

"Read what my medal says. Courage! Ain't it the truth! ain't it the truth!"

"Courage! What makes the King out of the slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the Sphinx the Seventh Wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the ape in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got? (Others: Courage!) You can say it again!"

"[singing] Each rabbit would show respect to me/The chipmunks genuflect to me/Tho’ my tail would lash/I would show compash/For ev’ry underling/If I, if I were king/Just king."

"[singing] Yeah, it's sad, believe me, Missy, When you're born to be the sissy, Without the vim and verve. But I could show my prowess, Be the lion, not the "mouse," If I only had the nerve."

"I’ll fight you both together if you want! I’ll fight you with one paw tied behind my back! I’ll fight you standin’ on one foot! I’ll fight you wit’ my eyes closed!"

"Put 'em up, put 'em up! Which one of ya first?"

"[singing] When a man's an empty kettle, He should be on his mettle, And yet I'm torn apart. Just because I'm presumin' That I could be kinda human If I only had a heart."

"[about Toto] He's really gentle... with gentle people, that is."
