Your Pain May Give Laugh To Somebody But Your Laugh Shouldn't Give Pain To Anybody
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
The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.
Charlie Chaplin
Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! [...] You, the people, have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin
My prodigious sin was, and still is, being a non-conformist.
Charlie Chaplin
One murder makes a villain millions, a hero.
Charlie Chaplin
Greed has poisoned men's souls.
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
Words seem so futile, so feeble. You are all such lovely, beautiful people ... thank you.
Charlie Chaplin
Life can be wonderful if you're not afraid of it. All it takes is courage, imagination ... and a little dough
Charlie Chaplin
3 is a prime, 5 is a prime, 7 is a prime, 9 is the next prime after 8.

Charlie Chaplin
