Speech from Charlie Chaplin's
'The Great Dictator'
I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an Emperor; that's not
my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I
should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile,
black man, white. We all want to help one another,
human beings are like that. We all want to live by each
other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't
want to hate and despise one another. In this world
there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can
provide for everyone.

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.
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer
together. The very nature of these inventions cries out
for the goodness in men, cries out for universal
brotherhood, for the unity of us all. Even now, my voice
is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of
despairing men, women and little children, victims of a
system that makes men torture and imprison innocent
people. To those who can hear me, I say: "Do not

despair! »
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of
greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human
progress. The hate of men will pass and dictators die
and the power they took from the people will return to
the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never
perish.
Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes! Men who
despise you and enslave you; who regiment your lives,
tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel; who
drill you, diet you, treat you as cattle, as cannon-fodder.
Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine
men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are
not machines. You are not cattle. You are men. You
have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't
hate only the unloved hate. Only the unloved and the
unnatural. Soldiers, don't fight for slavery! Fight for
liberty!
In the 17th chapter of Saint Luke, it is written: "The
kingdom of God is within man". Not one man, nor a
group of men, but in all men; in you, the people. You,
the people, have the power; the power to create
machines; the power to create happiness. You, the
people, have the power to make this life free and
beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then
in the name of democracy, let's use that power, let us all
unite! Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that
will give men a chance to work; that will give you the
future and old age and security. By the promise of these
things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They do
not fulfil their promise, they never will. Dictators free
themselves, but they enslave the people. Now let us
fight to fulfil that promise. Let us fight to free the world,
to do away with national barriers, do away with greed,
with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of
reason, a world where science and progress will lead to
all men's happiness.
Soldiers, in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
