More quotes by Clarence Darrow
Can any rational person believe that the Bible is anything but a human document?
Clarence Darrow
Any one who thinks is an agnostic about something, otherwise he must believe that he is possessed of all knowledge. And the proper place for such a person is in the madhouse or the home for the feeble-minded.
Clarence Darrow
I am always suspicious of righteous indignation. Nothing is more cruel than righteous indignation.
Clarence Darrow
Thirteen states with a population less than that of New York State alone can prevent repeal [of prohibition] until Halley's comet returns. One might as well talk about a summer vacation on Mars.
Clarence Darrow
Each child should be more intelligent than his parents.
Clarence Darrow
Punishment as punishment is not admissible unless the offender has had the freewill to select his course.
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
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
There is no such thing as justice - in or out of court.
Clarence Darrow
I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose.
Clarence Darrow
Great wealth often curses all who touch it.
Clarence Darrow
None meet life honestly and few heroically.
Clarence Darrow
Depressions may bring people closer to the church but so do funerals.
Clarence Darrow
A jury is more apt to be unbiased and independent than a court, but they very seldom stand up against strong public clamor. Judges naturally believe the defendant is guilty.
Clarence Darrow
Someday I hope to write a book where the royalties will pay for the copies I give away.
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
An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral.
Clarence Darrow
There are a lot of myths which make the human race cruel and barbarous and unkind. Good and Evil, Sin and Crime, Free Will and the like delusions made to excuse God for damning men and to excuse men for crucifying each other.
Clarence Darrow
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
Clarence Darrow
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.
