More quotes by Clarence Darrow
True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else.
Clarence Darrow
None meet life honestly and few heroically.
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
It is just as often a great misfortune to be the child of the rich as it is to be the child of the poor. Wealth has its misfortunes. Too much, too great opportunity and advantage given to a child has its misfortunes.
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
The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.
Clarence Darrow
Anyone can spot a lie, unless he is in need of that lie.
Clarence Darrow
It’s not bad people I fear so much as good people. When a person is sure that he is good, he is nearly hopeless he gets cruel- he believes in punishment.
Clarence Darrow
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
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
Depressions may bring people closer to the church but so do funerals.
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
I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose.
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
As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.
Clarence Darrow
The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is the death of wisdom. Skepticism and doubt lead to study and investigation, and investigation is the beginning of wisdom.
Clarence Darrow
Each child should be more intelligent than his parents.
Clarence Darrow
Hoover, if elected, will do one thing that is almost incomprehensible to the human mind: he will make a great man out of Coolidge.
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
Chloroform unfit children. Show them the same mercy that is shown beasts that are no longer fit to live.
Clarence Darrow
