More quotes by Clarence Darrow
The trouble with law is lawyers.
Clarence Darrow
The purpose of life is living. Men and women should get the most they can out of their lives.
Clarence Darrow
With all their faults, trade unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in men, than any other association of men.
Clarence Darrow
One cannot live through a long stretch of years without forming some philosophy of life.
Clarence Darrow
Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom Justice is what comes out of a courtroom
Clarence Darrow
Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas.
Clarence Darrow
Everyone is the heir to all that has gone before his structure and emotional life is fixed, and no two children of nature have the same heredity. I believe everyone should and must live out what is in him. So no two lives can be the same.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
No nation can be really great that is held together by Gatling guns, and no true loyalty can be induced and kept through fear.
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
Those who enjoy the emotion of hating are much like the groups who sate their thirst for blood by hunting and hounding to death helpless animals as an outlet for their emotions.
Clarence Darrow
I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.
Clarence Darrow
The first half of our lives are ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
Clarence Darrow
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
Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.
Clarence Darrow
Inside every lawyer is the wreck of a poet.
Clarence Darrow
If you lose the power to laugh, you lose the power to think.
Clarence Darrow
