More quotes by Clarence Darrow
I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure - that is all that agnosticism means.
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 difference between the child and the man lies chiefly in the unlimited confidence and buoyancy of youth.
Clarence Darrow
Inside every lawyer is the wreck of a poet.
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 had a vivid imagination. Not only could I put myself in the other person's place, but I could not avoid doing so. My sympathies always went out to the weak, the suffering, and the poor. Realizing their sorrows I tried to relieve them in order that I myself might be relieved.

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
Any one who thinks is an agnostic about something, otherwise he must believe that he is possessed of all knowledge. And the proper place for such a person is in the madhouse or the home for the feeble-minded.
Clarence Darrow
No other offense has ever been visited with such severe penalties as seeking to help the oppressed.
Clarence Darrow
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Clarence Darrow
The truth is that brains have little to do with either the making or accumulating of money.
Clarence Darrow
Each child should be more intelligent than his parents.
Clarence Darrow
Great wealth often curses all who touch it.
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
The trouble with law is lawyers.
Clarence Darrow
I am always suspicious of righteous indignation. Nothing is more cruel than righteous indignation.
Clarence Darrow
Depressions may bring people closer to the church but so do funerals.
Clarence Darrow
Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.
