More quotes by 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
I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.
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
Life is a play that does not allow testing. So, sing, cry, dance, laugh and live intensely, before the curtain closes and the piece ends with no applause.
Charlie Chaplin
Simplicity is not a simple thing.
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
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
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
From such trivia, I believe my soul was born.
Charlie Chaplin
To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.
Charlie Chaplin
I've arrived at the age where a platonic friendship can be sustained on the highest moral plane.
Charlie Chaplin
I am not religious in the dogmatic sense... I neither believe nor disbelieve in anything.
Charlie Chaplin
I have Many Problems in My Life. But my leaps don`t know that. They always smile
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 like friends as I like music - when I am in the mood.
Charlie Chaplin
Nothing in life is permanent, not even one's troubles.
Charlie Chaplin
I do not need drugs to be a genius, do not take a genius to be human, but I need your smile to be happy.
Charlie Chaplin
My character of the Tramp, the millions of workers symbolized in that one figure.
Charlie Chaplin
The mirror is my best friend because when I cry it never laughs.
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
