More quotes by Charlie Chaplin
All my pictures are built around the idea of getting in trouble and so giving me the chance to be desperately serious in my attempt to appear as a normal little gentleman.
Charlie Chaplin
So when I cease to be I want to go back...to the sea! Oh for the life of a sardine! That is the life for me!
Charlie Chaplin
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people and so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Charlie Chaplin
As for politics, I’m an anarchist. I hate governments and rules and fetters. Can’t stand caged animals. People must be free.
Charlie Chaplin
My character of the Tramp, the millions of workers symbolized in that one figure.
Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin
The kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you!
Charlie Chaplin
I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.
Charlie Chaplin
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

Charlie Chaplin
Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish.
Charlie Chaplin
Moving pictures need sound as much as Beethoven symphonies need lyrics.
Charlie Chaplin
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
A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
Charlie Chaplin
Greed has poisoned men's souls.
Charlie Chaplin
There are more valid facts and details in works of art than there are in history books.
Charlie Chaplin
We think too much and feel too little.
Charlie Chaplin
Have them all shot. I don't want any of my workers dissatisfied.
Charlie Chaplin
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.
Charlie Chaplin
The building is a special place because of its architecture But it's people who make it special by participating in it.
Charlie Chaplin
