Charlie Chaplin

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles.

Actors search for rejection. If they don't get it they reject themselves.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

I don't believe that the public knows what it wants; this is the conclusion that I have drawn from my career.

Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot

All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

In the end, everything is a gag.
