More quotes by Clarence Darrow
The trouble with law is lawyers.
Clarence Darrow
Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas.
Clarence Darrow
The first half of our lives are ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
Clarence Darrow
I am simply an agnostic. I haven't yet had time or opportunity to explore the universe, and I don't know what I might run on to in some nook or corner.
Clarence Darrow
An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral.
Clarence Darrow
One cannot live through a long stretch of years without forming some philosophy of life.
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
The truth is that brains have little to do with either the making or accumulating of money.
Clarence Darrow
For to know all is to understand all, and this leaves no room for judgment and condemnation.
Clarence Darrow
Most lawyers only tell you about the cases they win. I can tell you about some I lose. A lawyer who wins all his cases does not have many.
Clarence Darrow
The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.
Clarence Darrow
There are a lot of myths which make the human race cruel and barbarous and unkind. Good and Evil, Sin and Crime, Free Will and the like delusions made to excuse God for damning men and to excuse men for crucifying each other.
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
It must always be remembered that all laws are naturally and inevitably evolved by the strongest force in a community, and in the last analysis made for the protection of the dominant class.
Clarence Darrow
None meet life honestly and few heroically.
Clarence Darrow
Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for.
Clarence Darrow
The fact that there is a general belief in a future life is no evidence of its truth
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
Education was in danger from the source that always hampered it—religious fanaticism.
Clarence Darrow
The best way to understand somebody else is to put yourself in his place.
