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.

More quotes by Clarence Darrow
We are turning our prisons into living tombs, inhabited by doomed men living in everlasting blank despair.
Clarence Darrow
The difference between the child and the man lies chiefly in the unlimited confidence and buoyancy of youth.
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
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
Clarence Darrow
The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.
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
Chase after the truth like all hell.
Clarence Darrow
Can any rational person believe that the Bible is anything but a human document?
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
Depressions may bring people closer to the church but so do funerals.
Clarence Darrow
Anyone can spot a lie, unless he is in need of that lie.
Clarence Darrow
Justice must take account of infinite circumstances which a human being cannot understand.
Clarence Darrow
Each child should be more intelligent than his parents.
Clarence Darrow
Criminal cases receive the attention of the press. The cruel and disagreeable things of life are more apt to get the newspaper space than the pleasant ones. It must be that most people enjoy hearing of and reading about the troubles of others. Perhaps men unconsciously feel that they rise in the general level as others go down.
Clarence Darrow
The best way to understand somebody else is to put yourself in his place.
Clarence Darrow
The man who fights for his fellow-man is a better man than the one who fights for himself.
Clarence Darrow
Ancestors do not mean so much. The rebel who succeeds generally makes it easier for the posterity that follows him so these descendants are usually contented and smug and soft. Rebels are made from life, not ancestors.
Clarence Darrow
I am always suspicious of righteous indignation. Nothing is more cruel than righteous indignation.
Clarence Darrow
The purpose of life is to live it.
Clarence Darrow
Lawyers are natural politicians.
