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 suppose that's one of the ironies of life doing the wrong thing at the right moment.
Charlie Chaplin
The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.
Charlie Chaplin
I don't think the real America is in New York or on the Pacific Coast personally, I like the Middle West much better, places like North and South Dakota, Minneapolis and Saint Paul. There, I think, are the true Americans
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
Nothing in life is permanent, not even one's troubles.
