Charlie Chaplin was one of the biggest comedians ever. When we think of him, we see laughter and light moments. But have you looked closely at those silent actions; the message goes much deeper than just giggles. Here are some famous Charlie Chaplin quotes that demonstrate he was trying to tell us something profound through laughter.
1. Live completely
“Life is a play that does not allow testing. So, sing, cry, dance, laugh and live intensely, before the curtain closes and the piece ends with no applause.”
2. The troubles will go away
“Nothing is permanent in this wicked world, not even our troubles.”
3. Your behaviour says it all
“A man’s true character comes out when he’s drunk.”
4. The heart is as important as the mind
“We think too much and feel too little.”
5. Keep smiling
“You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile.”
6. Never hurt someone
“My pain may be the reason for somebody’s laughter. But my laugh must never be the reason for somebody’s pain.”
7. It’s ok to be a fool
“Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself”.
8. Laughing is not easy
“To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it.”
9. The meaning of life
“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.”
