For someone who was silent for most of his career, Charlie Chaplin’s words have left a lasting impact. Perhaps nothing captures his positive outlook in life more than this:

“You have to believe in yourself, that’s the secret. Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the streets trying to find enough to eat to keep alive, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world.” — Charlie Chaplin

Here are 15 more uplifting quotes from the good man.

1. “You need power only when you want to do something harmful, otherwise love is enough to get everything done” — Charlie Chaplin

In the end, there are only two emotions — love and fear.

“Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards, harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, sends out, stays, reveals, shares, heals.” — Neale Donald Walsch

My advice is to choose love. It’s more fun.

2. “The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury” — Charlie Chaplin
