Why not? After all, it belongs to him.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Imagination means nothing without doing.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
This is a story of a period between two World Wars - an interim in which Insanity cut loose. Liberty took a nose dive, and Humanity was kicked around somewhat.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Man is an animal with primary instincts of survival. Consequently his ingenuity has developed first and his soul afterwards. The progress of science is far ahead of man's ethical behavior.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
By simple common sense I don't believe in God, in none.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
I don't believe that the public knows what it wants this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Hair is vitally personal to children. They weep vigorously when it is cut for the first time no matter how it grows, bushy, straight or curly, they feel they are being shorn of a part of their personality.

Simplicity is not a simple thing.

It seems to me that my mother was the most splendid woman I ever knew... I have met a lot of people knocking around the world since, but I have never met a more thoroughly refined woman than my mother. If I have amounted to anything, it will be due to her.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
I remain just one thing, and one thing only - and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
My pain may be the reason for somebody's laugh. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody's pain.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
I am not a political man and I have no political convictions. I am an individual and a believer in liberty. That is all the politics I have. On the other hand I am not a super-patriot. Super-patriotism leads to Hitlerism - and we've had our lesson there. I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Where words leave off, gesture begins. Don't we speak of a person being speechless with rage, dancing with impatience, setting his teeth? The final motions of the soul are speechless, animal, grotesque, or of an incomparable beauty.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
This is a ruthless world and one must be ruthless to cope with it.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
My character of the Tramp, the millions of workers symbolized in that one figure.

Ability to think, like the violin or piano, requires daily practice

We think too much and feel too little.
