Hoover, if elected, will do one thing that is almost incomprehensible to the human mind: he will make a great man out of Coolidge.
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 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
Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the brain and soul of man.
Clarence Darrow
The purpose of life is living. Men and women should get the most they can out of their lives.

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
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
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
Chase after the truth like all hell.
Clarence Darrow
Even if you do learn to speak correct English, whom are you going to speak it to?
Clarence Darrow
Calvin Coolidge was the greatest man who ever came out of Plymouth Corner, Vermont.
Clarence Darrow
Freedom comes from human beings, rather than from laws and institutions.
Clarence Darrow
There is a soul of truth in error there is a soul of good in evil.
Clarence Darrow
You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom.
Clarence Darrow
The really intelligent are as abnormal as the defective. The great masses of men are rather mediocre, and those above and below are exceptions.
Clarence Darrow
I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.
Clarence Darrow
The difference between the child and the man lies chiefly in the unlimited confidence and buoyancy of youth.
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
None meet life honestly and few heroically.
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.
