Charlie Chaplin
Image
One murder makes a villain millions, a hero.
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.

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
Image
A tramp, a gentleman, a poet, a dreamer, a lonely fellow, always hopeful of romance and adventure.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people!
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Greed has poisoned men's souls.
Charlie Chaplin
Image
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
Image
The building is a special place because of its architecture But it's people who make it special by participating in it.
