"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 progress"
Today is the birthday of Charlie Chaplin, who was born April 16, 1889. His courage and humanity came shining through in The Great Dictator, and his final speech resonates today as much as it did in 1940. He was an imperfect man, but his willingness to stand up to oppression on the world's biggest stage set a standard that is rarely matched by those with the greatest reach.
