More from Charlie Chaplin
"Laughter is the tonic, the relief, the surcease from pain."
"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."
"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."
"I believe that laughter is the best medicine."
"As my mother used to say, guests are like cakes: if you keep them too long, they turn rancid and become inedible."
About Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977)
English comic actor and silent-film auteur whose Tramp character defined early Hollywood and whose The Great Dictator (1940) satirized Hitler. Closely associated with Buster Keaton (silent-comedy peer of equal stature) and Harold Lloyd (third silent-comedy giant). For an intellectual contrast, see J. Edgar Hoover, FBI director (1924-1972) — Hoover pursued Chaplin for years on suspected communist sympathies, leading to the 1952 revocation of Chaplin's US re-entry permit and his Swiss exile — Hoover represented the McCarthy-era national-security state that was the institutional opposite of Chaplin's pro-immigrant Tramp humanism.
