More quotes by Clarence Darrow
Chloroform unfit children. Show them the same mercy that is shown beasts that are no longer fit to live.
Clarence Darrow
Do you, good people, believe that Adam and Eve were created in the Garden of Eden and that they were forbidden to eat from the tree of knowledge? I do. The church has always been afraid of that tree. It still is afraid of knowledge. Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas. So does whiskey. I believe in the brain of man.
Clarence Darrow
Calvin Coolidge was the greatest man who ever came out of Plymouth Corner, Vermont.
Clarence Darrow
The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.
Clarence Darrow
With all their faults, trade unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in men, than any other association of men.
Clarence Darrow
There is a soul of truth in error there is a soul of good in evil.
Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow

Clarence Darrow
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
Clarence Darrow

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
The law is a horrible business.
Clarence Darrow
Someday I hope to write a book where the royalties will pay for the copies I give away.
Clarence Darrow
There is no such thing as justice - in or out of court.
Clarence Darrow
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.
Clarence Darrow
The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.
Clarence Darrow
No man is a good citizen, a good neighbor, a good friend, or a good man just because he obeys the law. The intrinsic worth is determined mainly by the intrinsic make-up.
Clarence Darrow
As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever.
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
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.
