Clarence Darrow Quote: “An idea is a greater monument than a cathedral.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “The law is a horrible business.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “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 Quote: “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.

Clarence Darrow Quote: “The best way to understand somebody else is to put yourself in his place.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “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 Quote: “Some false representations contravene the law; some do not. The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business, and, besides, could not be done. The line between honesty and dishonesty is a narrow, shifting one and usually lets those get by that are the most subtle and already have more than they can use.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “With all their faults, trade unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed.

Clarence Darrow Quote: “No iconoclast can possibly escape the severest criticism.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “Human action is governed largely by instinct and emotion.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “No nation can be really great that is held together by Gatling guns, and no true loyalty can be induced and kept through fear.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “Physical deformity, calls forth our charity. But the infinite misfortune of moral deformity calls forth nothing but hatred and vengeance.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “The truth is that brains have little to do with either the making or accumulating of money.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “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 Quote: “The first great cause of crime is poverty, and we will never cure crime until we get rid of poverty.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure – that is all that agnosticism means.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “I knew that it is out of the question to have honest, economical government while a few are inordinately rich and the great mass of men are poor. In fact, it is to be doubted if anything really worthwhile can be done until there is a fairer distribution of wealth.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “The origin of the absurd idea of immortal life is easy to discover; it is kept alive by hope and fear, by childish faith, and by cowardice.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “The love of nature comes with maturing years and is one of the few compensations for growing old.”

Clarence Darrow Quote: “I am always suspicious of righteous indignation. Nothing is more cruel than righteous indignation.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “Some of you say religion makes people happy. So does laughing gas. So does whiskey. I believe in the brain of man. I’m not worried about my soul.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “The purpose of man is like the purpose of a pollywog – to wiggle along as far as he can without dying; or, to hang to life until death takes him.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “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 Quote: “We know life is futile. A man who considers that his life is of very wonderful importance is awfully close to a padded cell.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “I am not afraid of any god in the universe who would send me or any other man or woman to hell. If there were such a being, he would not be a god; he would be a devil.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “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 Quote: “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 Quote: “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 Quote: “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 Quote: “Everyone is the heir to all that has gone before; his structure and emotional life is fixed, and no two children of nature have the same heredity. I believe everyone should and must live out what is in him. So no two lives can be the same.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “The best that we can do is to be kindly and helpful toward our friends and fellow passengers who are clinging to the same speck of dirt while we are drifting side by side to our common doom.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “Just think of the tragedy of teaching children not to doubt.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “In the great flood of human life that is spawned upon the earth, it is not often that a man is born.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “The Constitution is a delusion and a snare if the weakest and humblest man in the land cannot be defended in his right to speak and his right to think as much as the strongest in the land.”
Clarence Darrow Quote: “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 Quote: “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 Quote: “Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the soul and brain of man.”
