Charlie Chaplin
I will not join any club who will take me as a member.

My prodigious sin was, and still is, being a non-conformist.
Charlie Chaplin
To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!
Charlie Chaplin
my lips never know my problem they just always smile
Charlie Chaplin
That is why, no matter how desperate the predicament is, I am always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.
Charlie Chaplin
In the end, everything is a gag.
Charlie Chaplin
I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.
Charlie Chaplin
