More quotes by Clarence Darrow
We're all killers at heart . . . . I have never taken anybody's life, but I have often read obituary notices with considerable satisfaction.
Clarence Darrow
If there is to be any permanent improvement in man and any better social order, it must come mainly from the education and humanizing of man.
Clarence Darrow
The nation that would to-day disarm its soldiers and turn its people to the paths of peace would accomplish more to its building up than by all the war taxes wrong from its hostile and unwilling serfs
Clarence Darrow
Every government on earth is the personification of violence and force, and yet the doctine of non-resistance is as old as human thought - even more than this, the instinct is as old as life upon the earth.
Clarence Darrow
The first half of our lives are ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
Clarence Darrow
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.
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
We are turning our prisons into living tombs, inhabited by doomed men living in everlasting blank despair.
Clarence Darrow
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Clarence Darrow
I am a friend of the working man, and I would rather be his friend, than be one.
Clarence Darrow
Someday I hope to write a book where the royalties will pay for the copies I give away.
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
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
Inside every lawyer is the wreck of a poet.
Clarence Darrow
Calvin Coolidge was the greatest man who ever came out of Plymouth Corner, Vermont.
Clarence Darrow
I feel as I always have, that the earth is the home and the only home of man, and I am convinced that whatever he is to get out of his existence he must get while he is here.
Clarence Darrow
Every thought of pity is like the balm of Gilead to our souls.
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
Great wealth often curses all who touch it.
Clarence Darrow
Working people have alot of bad habits, but the worst of these is work.
