More quotes by Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
The difference between the child and the man lies chiefly in the unlimited confidence and buoyancy of youth.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
You can't get to a pleasant place to be at unless you use pleasant methods to get there. When you are dealing with a human society the means is fully as important as the end.
Clarence Darrow
Do you think you can cure the hatreds and the maladjustments of the world by hanging them? You simply show your ignorance and your hate when you say it. You may here and there cure hatred with love and understanding, but you can only add fuel to the flames by cruelty and hate.

Clarence Darrow
Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom Justice is what comes out of a courtroom
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
No iconoclast can possibly escape the severest criticism.
Clarence Darrow
We are turning our prisons into living tombs, inhabited by doomed men living in everlasting blank despair.
Clarence Darrow
I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.
Clarence Darrow
I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose.
Clarence Darrow
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
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
Education was in danger from the source that always hampered it—religious fanaticism.
