More quotes by Charlie Chaplin
I'm an old sinner. Nothing shocks me.
Charlie Chaplin
The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all.
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
This is a ruthless world and one must be ruthless to cope with it.
Charlie Chaplin
Simplicity is not a simple thing.
Charlie Chaplin
A man's true character comes out when he's drunk.
Charlie Chaplin
One murder makes a villain millions, a hero.
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
I am what I am: an individual, unique and different, with a lineal history of ancestral promptings and urgings, a history of dreams, desires, and of special experiences, all of which I am the sum total.
Charlie Chaplin
Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers! To do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness.
Charlie Chaplin
Why not? After all, it belongs to him.
Charlie Chaplin
I've arrived at the age where a platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane.
Charlie Chaplin
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people!
Charlie Chaplin
Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing.
Charlie Chaplin
Sound has spoiled the most ancient of the world's arts, the art of pantomime, and has canceled out the great beauty that is silence.
Charlie Chaplin
Nothing in life is permanent, not even one's troubles.
Charlie Chaplin
You have to believe in yourself. That's the secret.
Charlie Chaplin
We might as well die as to go on living like this.
Charlie Chaplin
You'll never find rainbows, If you're looking down...
Charlie Chaplin
From such trivia, I believe my soul was born.
Charlie Chaplin
