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
The efforts of the medical profession in the US to control:...its...job it proposes to monopolize. It has been carrying on a vigorous campaign all over the country against new methods and schools of healing because it wants the business...I have watched this medical profession for a long time and it bears watching.

I am not afraid of any god in the universe who would send me or any other man or woman to hell. If there were such a being, he would not be a god he would be a devil.
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
The really intelligent are as abnormal as the defective. The great masses of men are rather mediocre, and those above and below are exceptions.
Clarence Darrow
There is no such thing as justice - in or out of court.
Clarence Darrow
I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.
Clarence Darrow
None meet life honestly and few heroically.
Clarence Darrow
Every thought of pity is like the balm of Gilead to our souls.
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
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.
