More quotes by Clarence Darrow
There is a soul of truth in error there is a soul of good in evil.
Clarence Darrow
I am simply an agnostic. I haven't yet had time or opportunity to explore the universe, and I don't know what I might run on to in some nook or corner.
Clarence Darrow
The truth is always modern and there never comes a time when it is safe to give it voice.
Clarence Darrow
The ability and inclination to use physical strength is no indication of bravery or tenacity to life. The greatest cowards are often the greatest bullies. Nothing is cheaper and more common than physical bravery.
Clarence Darrow
The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.
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
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
No other offense has ever been visited with such severe penalties as seeking to help the oppressed.
Clarence Darrow
It’s not bad people I fear so much as good people. When a person is sure that he is good, he is nearly hopeless he gets cruel- he believes in punishment.
Clarence Darrow
The only real lawyers are trial lawyers, and trial lawyers try cases to juries.
Clarence Darrow
The man who fights for his fellow-man is a better man than the one who fights for himself.
Clarence Darrow
I don't believe in God because I don't believe in Mother Goose.
Clarence Darrow
Those who enjoy the emotion of hating are much like the groups who sate their thirst for blood by hunting and hounding to death helpless animals as an outlet for their emotions.
Clarence Darrow
Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas.
Clarence Darrow
If there is to be any permanent improvement in man and any better social order, it must come mainly from the education and humanizing of man.
Clarence Darrow
One believes in the truthfulness of a man because of his long experience with the man, and because the man has always told a consistent story. But no man has told so consistent a story as nature.
Clarence Darrow
The efforts of the medical profession in the US to control:...its...job it proposes to monopolize. It has been carrying on a vigorous campaign all over the country against new methods and schools of healing because it wants the business...I have watched this medical profession for a long time and it bears watching.
Clarence Darrow
The trouble with law is lawyers.
Clarence Darrow
Depressions may bring people closer to the church but so do funerals.
Clarence Darrow
Education was in danger from the source that always hampered it—religious fanaticism.
