More quotes by Clarence Darrow
We're all killers at heart . . . . I have never taken anybody's life, but I have often read obituary notices with considerable satisfaction.
Clarence Darrow
An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral.
Clarence Darrow
Cheating, having 'hoes,' none of that is cute. To be honest, it's really immature. I don't see how people take pride in breaking someone's heart. The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
I am pleading for the future I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men. When we can learn by, reason and judgment and understanding and faith that all life is worth saving, and that mercy is the highest attribute of man.
Clarence Darrow
Every government on earth is the personification of violence and force, and yet the doctine of non-resistance is as old as human thought - even more than this, the instinct is as old as life upon the earth.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
Nothing is so loved by tyrants as obedient subjects.
Clarence Darrow
The difference between the child and the man lies chiefly in the unlimited confidence and buoyancy of youth.
Clarence Darrow
Laws have come down to us from old customs and folk-ways based on primitive ideas of man's origin, capacity and responsibility.
Clarence Darrow
I cannot tell and I shall never know how many words of mine might have given birth to cruelty in place of love and kindness and charity.
Clarence Darrow
The only real lawyers are trial lawyers, and trial lawyers try cases to juries.
Clarence Darrow
Lawyers are natural politicians.
Clarence Darrow
The trouble with law is lawyers.
Clarence Darrow
Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas.
