Clarence Darrow
There is no such thing as justice - in or out of court.
Clarence Darrow
Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to?
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
The nation that would to-day disarm its soldiers and turn its people to the paths of peace would accomplish more to its building up than by all the war taxes wrong from its hostile and unwilling serfs

Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
The purpose of man is like the purpose of a pollywog - to wiggle along as far as he can without dying or, to hang to life until death takes him.
Clarence Darrow
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.
Clarence Darrow
The origin of the absurd idea of immortal life is easy to discover it is kept alive by hope and fear, by childish faith, and by cowardice.
Clarence Darrow
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
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
Each child should be more intelligent than his parents.
Clarence Darrow
For to know all is to understand all, and this leaves no room for judgment and condemnation.
Clarence Darrow
The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.
Clarence Darrow
Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the brain and soul of man.
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
