More quotes by Charlie Chaplin
Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.
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
Simplicity of approach is always best.
Charlie Chaplin
In the work of the greatest geniuses, humble beginnings will reveal themselves somewhere, but one cannot trace the slightest sign of them in Shakespeare ... I am not concerned with who wrote the works of Shakespeare ... but I can hardly think it was the Stratford boy. Whoever wrote them had an aristocratic attitude.
Charlie Chaplin
My prodigious sin was, and still is, being a non-conformist.
Charlie Chaplin
In this book I do not intend to give a blow-by-blow description of a sex bout: I find them inartistic, clinical and unpoetic. The circumstances that lead up to sex I find more interesting.
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
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
I suppose that's one of the ironies of life doing the wrong thing at the right moment.
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
Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
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
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
Have them all shot. I don't want any of my workers dissatisfied.
Charlie Chaplin
There are more valid facts and details in works of art than there are in history books.
Charlie Chaplin
I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.
Charlie Chaplin
Time is the best author. It always writes the perfect ending.
Charlie Chaplin
You'll never find rainbows, If you're looking down...
Charlie Chaplin
This is a ruthless world and one must be ruthless to cope with it.
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
