Charlie Chaplin, English comic and actor, lived 88 years dying in Switzerland on Christmas Day 1977. In addition to his fame in films, he also was somewhat of a philosopher. Here are some of his memorable quotes.
He left us 4 statements:
1. Nothing is forever in this world, not even our problems.
2. I love walking in the rain because no one can see my tears.
3. The most lost day in life is the day we don’t laugh.
