More quotes by Clarence Darrow
The man who fights for his fellow-man is a better man than the one who fights for himself.
Clarence Darrow
The ability and inclination to use physical strength is no indication of bravery or tenacity to life. The greatest cowards are often the greatest bullies. Nothing is cheaper and more common than physical bravery.
Clarence Darrow
I am simply an agnostic. I haven't yet had time or opportunity to explore the universe, and I don't know what I might run on to in some nook or corner.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
There is no such thing as justice - in or out of court.
Clarence Darrow
The first half of our lives are ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.
Clarence Darrow
Depressions may bring people closer to the church but so do funerals.
Clarence Darrow
Freedom comes from human beings, rather than from laws and institutions.
Clarence Darrow
Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom Justice is what comes out of a courtroom
Clarence Darrow
Thirteen states with a population less than that of New York State alone can prevent repeal [of prohibition] until Halley's comet returns. One might as well talk about a summer vacation on Mars.
Clarence Darrow
Someday I hope to write a book where the royalties will pay for the copies I give away.
Clarence Darrow
Chase after the truth like all hell.
