More quotes by Clarence Darrow
We are turning our prisons into living tombs, inhabited by doomed men living in everlasting blank despair.
Clarence Darrow
Chloroform unfit children. Show them the same mercy that is shown beasts that are no longer fit to live.

Clarence Darrow
Nothing is so loved by tyrants as obedient subjects.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.
Clarence Darrow
Freedom comes from human beings, rather than from laws and institutions.
Clarence Darrow
The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.
Clarence Darrow
You can't get to a pleasant place to be at unless you use pleasant methods to get there. When you are dealing with a human society the means is fully as important as the end.
Clarence Darrow
An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral.
Clarence Darrow
If a man really has charge of his destiny at all, he should have something to say about getting born and I only came through by a hair's-breadth. What had I to do with this momentous first step? In the language of the lawyer, I was not even a party of the second part.
Clarence Darrow
Inside every lawyer is the wreck of a poet.
