More quotes by Clarence Darrow
Anyone can spot a lie, unless he is in need of that lie.
Clarence Darrow

In life one cannot eat his cake and have it, too he must make his choice and then do the best he can to be content to go the way his judgment leads.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
There is a soul of truth in error there is a soul of good in evil.
Clarence Darrow
Justice must take account of infinite circumstances which a human being cannot understand.
Clarence Darrow
Punishment as punishment is not admissible unless the offender has had the freewill to select his course.
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
As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.
Clarence Darrow
