"To those who can hear me I say, 'Do not despair'"

I needed this. From Charlie Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" (1940): "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." This sentiment, it is not at all where I am right now, today. But it is still true and I still want that for everyone. I needed this.
