More quotes by Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the brain and soul of man.
Clarence Darrow
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
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
If you lose the power to laugh, you lose the power to think.
Clarence Darrow
Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas.
Clarence Darrow
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.
Clarence Darrow
The purpose of man is like the purpose of a pollywog - to wiggle along as far as he can without dying or, to hang to life until death takes him.
Clarence Darrow
