CHARLIE CHAPLAIN ... SPEECH FROM THE GREAT DICTATOR

Follow THEMADHATTERXXX on Twitter




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. 

We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. 


Our knowledge has made us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind. 

We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. 

More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness. 

Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.

JULY 4TH ... THE LAST WORD ON INDEPENDENCE

Every day is Independence Day

In the course of human events, nothing has been more dangerous to the ruling elite than the concept of human liberty.

Not the documents that have encapsulated that idea or charted its development, not the Magna Carta, not the Declaration of Independence, not the Emancipation Proclamation, nor any of the other pieces of paper upon which the idea of liberty has been set down ...

but the idea itself.
