"The Kingdom of God is within man - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! 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."
— from The Great Dictator, 1940
"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today."
— from Attributed
"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."

All quotes by Charlie Chaplin (300)
More than machinery we need humanity.
You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men!
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men—machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the unloved hate—the unloved and the unnatural!
Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes—men who despise you—enslave you—regiment your lives—tell you what to do—what to think and what to feel!
In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone.
I don't believe in anything but the power of the individual.
The world is a beautiful place, and it's worth fighting for.
I have no religion. I am an artist.
I believe in the power of love.
I believe in the power of laughter.
I believe in the power of dreams.
I believe in the power of imagination.
I believe in the power of art.
I believe in the power of humanity.
I believe in the power of peace.
I believe in the power of freedom.
I believe in the power of truth.
I believe in the power of justice.
I believe in the power of compassion.
