Clarence Darrow
Image
I am always suspicious of righteous indignation. Nothing is more cruel than righteous indignation.
Clarence Darrow
Image
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
Image
I cannot tell and I shall never know how many words of mine might have given birth to cruelty in place of love and kindness and charity.
Clarence Darrow
Image
An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral.
Clarence Darrow
Image
Laws should be like clothes. They should be made to fit the people they are meant to serve.
Clarence Darrow
