More quotes by 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
In the work of the greatest geniuses, humble beginnings will reveal themselves somewhere, but one cannot trace the slightest sign of them in Shakespeare ... I am not concerned with who wrote the works of Shakespeare ... but I can hardly think it was the Stratford boy. Whoever wrote them had an aristocratic attitude.
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
Life is laughter when seen in a long shot, but it is a tragedy when seen in a close-up.
Charlie Chaplin
I hate the sight of blood, but it's in my veins.
Charlie Chaplin
Dictators free themselves by enslaving others. They work not for your benefit, but their own.
Charlie Chaplin
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
Simplicity is not a simple thing.
Charlie Chaplin
Words seem so futile, so feeble. You are all such lovely, beautiful people ... thank you.
Charlie Chaplin
Imagination means nothing without doing.
Charlie Chaplin
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Charlie Chaplin
Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
Charlie Chaplin
From such trivia, I believe my soul was born.
Charlie Chaplin
I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.
Charlie Chaplin
Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded.
Charlie Chaplin
My character of the Tramp, the millions of workers symbolized in that one figure.
Charlie Chaplin
What can stars do? Nothing..But sit on their axis!
Charlie Chaplin
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
I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.
Charlie Chaplin
