None meet life honestly and few heroically.
Clarence Darrow
Criminal cases receive the attention of the press. The cruel and disagreeable things of life are more apt to get the newspaper space than the pleasant ones. It must be that most people enjoy hearing of and reading about the troubles of others. Perhaps men unconsciously feel that they rise in the general level as others go down.

Clarence Darrow
Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.
Clarence Darrow
It’s not bad people I fear so much as good people. When a person is sure that he is good, he is nearly hopeless he gets cruel- he believes in punishment.
Clarence Darrow
Education was in danger from the source that always hampered it—religious fanaticism.
Clarence Darrow
If you lose the power to laugh, you lose the power to think.
Clarence Darrow
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
Clarence Darrow
Cheating, having 'hoes,' none of that is cute. To be honest, it's really immature. I don't see how people take pride in breaking someone's heart. The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.
