Charlie Chaplin

As for politics, I’m an anarchist. I hate governments and rules and fetters. Can’t stand caged animals. People must be free.

Charlie Chaplin

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is love of oneself.

Charlie Chaplin

Cold, hunger and the shame of poverty are more likely to affect one’s psychology.

Charlie Chaplin

Dictators free themselves by enslaving others. They work not for your benefit, but their own.

Charlie Chaplin

Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world. I had to feel the exuberance that comes from utter confidence in yourself. Without it, you go down to defeat.

Charlie Chaplin

Greed has poisoned men’s souls

Charlie Chaplin

I always like walking in the rain, so no one can see me crying.

Charlie Chaplin

I am an artist. I am interested in life.

Charlie Chaplin

I am for people. I can’t help it.

Charlie Chaplin

I believe in the power of laughter and tears as an antidote to hatred and terror
