✹ For today's Wisdom Letter, we have carefully curated five bite-sized quotes from the English comic actor, Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977).
Quote № 01:
"In this world, there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed."
— Charlie Chaplin
Quote № 02:
"The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury."
— Charlie Chaplin
Quote № 03:
"Hannah, can you hear me? Wherever you are, look up, Hannah — the clouds are lifting! The sun is breaking through! We are coming out of the darkness, into the light. We are coming into a new world — a kindlier world, where men will rise above their hate, their greed and brutality. Look up, Hannah — the soul of man has been given wings, and at last he is beginning to fly! He is flying into the rainbow — into the light of hope, into the future, the glorious future that belongs to you, to me and to all of us. Look up, Hannah — look up!"
— Charlie Chaplin
Quote № 04:
"I remain just one thing, and one thing only — and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician."
— Charlie Chaplin
Quote № 05:
"Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot."
— Charlie Chaplin
