More quotes by Charlie Chaplin
Life is a beautiful, magnificent thing, even to a jellyfish.
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
Beauty is an omnipresence of death and loveliness, a smiling sadness that we discern in nature and all things, a mystic communion that the poet feels.
Charlie Chaplin
Ability to think, like the violin or piano, requires daily practice
Charlie Chaplin
Simplicity is not a simple thing.
Charlie Chaplin
Think about yourself at least once in your life otherwise you may miss the best comedy in this world.
Charlie Chaplin
If you're really truthful with yourself, it's a wonderful guidance.
Charlie Chaplin
I will not join any club who will take me as a member.
Charlie Chaplin
I like friends as I like music - when I am in the mood.
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
Simplicity of approach is always best.
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
My prodigious sin was, and still is, being a non-conformist.
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
In this desperate way, I started many a comedy.
Charlie Chaplin
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
I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large.
Charlie Chaplin
my lips never know my problem they just always smile
Charlie Chaplin
Had I known of the actual horrors of the German concentration camps, I could not have made The Great Dictator, I could not have made fun of the homicidal insanity of the Nazis.
Charlie Chaplin
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury. [and therefore not appreciate it fully or be grateful for it every moment.]
Charlie Chaplin
