More quotes by Clarence Darrow
Freedom comes from human beings, rather than from laws and institutions.
Clarence Darrow
Great wealth often curses all who touch it.
Clarence Darrow

Inside every lawyer is the wreck of a poet.
Clarence Darrow
Nothing is so loved by tyrants as obedient subjects.

Clarence Darrow
The only real lawyers are trial lawyers, and trial lawyers try cases to juries.
Clarence Darrow
Each child should be more intelligent than his parents.
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
Those who enjoy the emotion of hating are much like the groups who sate their thirst for blood by hunting and hounding to death helpless animals as an outlet for their emotions.

Clarence Darrow
Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
The purpose of life is living. Men and women should get the most they can out of their lives.
Clarence Darrow
In life one cannot eat his cake and have it, too he must make his choice and then do the best he can to be content to go the way his judgment leads.
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
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.
