What’s the matter with his ears? I don’t see nothin’ wrong with ’em. I think they’re cute.

You oughtta be ashamed of yourselves! A bunch of big guys like you, picking on a poor little orphan like him. Suppose you was torn away from your mother when you was just a baby. Nobody to tuck you in at nights. No warm, soft, caressing trunk to snuzzle into. How would you like to be left out alone in …

Remember, you come of a proud race. Why, you’re a pachyderm, and pachyderms don’t cry.

Cast your doubts aside and fly.

I seen a peanut stand, and heard a rubber band. I’ve seen a needle that winked its eye, but I been done seen about everything, when I see an elephant fly.

A mother’s love is the ultimate comfort.

Embrace what makes you different.

Don’t just fly, soar!

You’re standing on the threshold of success. Don’t look down, it’ll make you dizzy.

The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up.
