Charlie Chaplin

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

I hate the theatre.  I also hate the sight of blood, but its in my veins.

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

In the end, everything is a gag.

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

Man as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the Headless Monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded.

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

A day without laughter is a day wasted.

I went into the business for the money, and the art grew out of it. If people are disillusioned by that remark, I can't help it. It's the truth.

No matter how desperate the predicament is, I'm always very much in earnest about clutching my cane, straightening my derby hat and fixing my tie, even though I have just landed on my head.
