More quotes by Clarence Darrow
Depressions may bring people closer to the church but so do funerals.
Clarence Darrow
Any one who thinks is an agnostic about something, otherwise he must believe that he is possessed of all knowledge. And the proper place for such a person is in the madhouse or the home for the feeble-minded.
Clarence Darrow
The purpose of man is like the purpose of a pollywog - to wiggle along as far as he can without dying or, to hang to life until death takes him.
Clarence Darrow
A jury is more apt to be unbiased and independent than a court, but they very seldom stand up against strong public clamor. Judges naturally believe the defendant is guilty.
Clarence Darrow
Most jury trials are contests between the rich and poor.
Clarence Darrow
The first half of our lives are ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
Clarence Darrow
The man who fights for his fellow-man is a better man than the one who fights for himself.
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.
Clarence Darrow
Do you think you can cure the hatreds and the maladjustments of the world by hanging them? You simply show your ignorance and your hate when you say it. You may here and there cure hatred with love and understanding, but you can only add fuel to the flames by cruelty and hate.
Clarence Darrow
Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for.
Clarence Darrow
The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything.
Clarence Darrow
The difference between the child and the man lies chiefly in the unlimited confidence and buoyancy of youth.
Clarence Darrow
Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas.
Clarence Darrow
For to know all is to understand all, and this leaves no room for judgment and condemnation.
Clarence Darrow
There is a soul of truth in error there is a soul of good in evil.
Clarence Darrow
The efforts of the medical profession in the US to control:...its...job it proposes to monopolize. It has been carrying on a vigorous campaign all over the country against new methods and schools of healing because it wants the business...I have watched this medical profession for a long time and it bears watching.
Clarence Darrow
Everything serious that he says is a joke and everything humorous that he says is dead serious.
Clarence Darrow
Lawyers are natural politicians.
Clarence Darrow
The ability and inclination to use physical strength is no indication of bravery or tenacity to life. The greatest cowards are often the greatest bullies. Nothing is cheaper and more common than physical bravery.
Clarence Darrow
The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is the death of wisdom. Skepticism and doubt lead to study and investigation, and investigation is the beginning of wisdom.
