More quotes by Clarence Darrow
Each child should be more intelligent than his parents.
Clarence Darrow
One believes in the truthfulness of a man because of his long experience with the man, and because the man has always told a consistent story. But no man has told so consistent a story as nature.
Clarence Darrow
There is a soul of truth in error there is a soul of good in evil.
Clarence Darrow
I am a friend of the working man, and I would rather be his friend, than be one.
Clarence Darrow
To say that the universe was here last year, or millions of years ago, does not explain its origin. This is still a mystery. As to the question of the origin of things, man can only wonder and doubt and guess.
Clarence Darrow
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Clarence Darrow

You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.
Clarence Darrow
I am pleading for the future I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men. When we can learn by, reason and judgment and understanding and faith that all life is worth saving, and that mercy is the highest attribute of man.
Clarence Darrow
No man is a good citizen, a good neighbor, a good friend, or a good man just because he obeys the law. The intrinsic worth is determined mainly by the intrinsic make-up.
Clarence Darrow
I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose.
Clarence Darrow
The origin of the absurd idea of immortal life is easy to discover it is kept alive by hope and fear, by childish faith, and by cowardice.
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
Can any rational person believe that the Bible is anything but a human document?
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
Freedom comes from human beings, rather than from laws and institutions.
Clarence Darrow
The man who fights for his fellow-man is a better man than the one who fights for himself.
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
The truth is that brains have little to do with either the making or accumulating of money.
Clarence Darrow
None meet life honestly and few heroically.
