As the people on the sidewalks recognized two of their greatest, if very different, contemporaries, they gave them a tremendous reception which greatly astonished Einstein. “They’re cheering us both,” said Chaplin: “you because nobody understands you, and me because everybody understands me.” There was a good-humoured pride in his remark, and at the same time a certain humility as at a recognition of the difference between ready popularity and lasting greatness.or in  short    Einstein: What I most admire about your art, is your universality. You don’t say a word, yet the world understands you!    Chaplin: True. But your glory is even greater! The whole world admires you, even though they don’t understand a word of what you say.</blockquote>
