More quotes by Clarence Darrow
Lost causes are the only ones worth fighting for.
Clarence Darrow
Laws should be like clothes. They should be made to fit the people they are meant to serve.
Clarence Darrow
To say that the universe was here last year, or millions of years ago, does not explain its origin. This is still a mystery. As to the question of the origin of things, man can only wonder and doubt and guess.
Clarence Darrow
The purpose of life is living. Men and women should get the most they can out of their lives.
Clarence Darrow
Depressions may bring people closer to the church but so do funerals.
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
Justice has nothing to do with what goes on in a courtroom Justice is what comes out of a courtroom
Clarence Darrow
The man who fights for his fellow-man is a better man than the one who fights for himself.
Clarence Darrow
Chloroform unfit children. Show them the same mercy that is shown beasts that are no longer fit to live.
Clarence Darrow
I had a vivid imagination. Not only could I put myself in the other person's place, but I could not avoid doing so. My sympathies always went out to the weak, the suffering, and the poor. Realizing their sorrows I tried to relieve them in order that I myself might be relieved.
Clarence Darrow
Punishment as punishment is not admissible unless the offender has had the freewill to select his course.
Clarence Darrow
The fact that there is a general belief in a future life is no evidence of its truth
Clarence Darrow
The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.
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
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.
Clarence Darrow
The fear of God is not the beginning of wisdom. The fear of God is the death of wisdom. Skepticism and doubt lead to study and investigation, and investigation is the beginning of wisdom.
Clarence Darrow
I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose.
Clarence Darrow
The difference between the child and the man lies chiefly in the unlimited confidence and buoyancy of youth.
Clarence Darrow
Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the brain and soul of man.
