Charlie Chaplin

Let us strive for the impossible. Remember the great achievements throughout history have been the conquest of what seemed the impossible.

You, official Washington, and you, official London, let us make this our aim - victory in the spring.

I am for people. I can’t help it.

I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the makeup made me feel the person he was.

I am not a communist, but I am a human being.

I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people.

I am not a dictator. I am just a comedian.

I don't believe in anything, but I believe in everything. I believe in the human spirit, in kindness, in beauty, in joy. I believe in the power of laughter, and I believe in the power of tears.

In the end, everything is a gag.

I suppose that is the secret of my success. I have never been afraid to make a fool of myself.

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people.

More than machinery we need humanity.

I am a communist. I'm not ashamed of it. I'm not afraid of it. I believe in it. I believe in a world where everyone is equal, where everyone has enough to eat, where everyone has a home, where everyone has a job.

I have no faith in anything but the power of the human spirit.

We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness—not by each other's misery.

The world is a beautiful place, and there is much to be happy about. But there is also much to be sad about, and we must not forget that.

I am a citizen of the world. I don't belong to any country, to any race, to any religion. I am a human being.

One doesn't need to be a communist to believe in justice and equality.

I hate war, but I also hate the hypocrisy of those who preach peace while preparing for war.
