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 Seward Darrow 44 quotes

Most lawyers only tell you abo...

Most lawyers only tell you about the cases they win. I can tell you about some I lose. A lawyer who wins all his cases does not have many.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

Men have always been obliged t...

Men have always been obliged to fight to preserve liberty. Constitutions and laws do not safeguard liberty. It can be preserved only by a tolerant people, and this means eternal conflict.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

Laws have come down to us from...

Laws have come down to us from old customs and folk-ways based on primitive ideas of man's origin, capacity and responsibility.

Justice must take account of infinite circumstances which a human being cannot understand.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

It is just as often a great misfortune to be the child of the rich as it is to be the child of the poor. Wealth has its misfortunes. Too much, too great opportunity and advantage given to a child has its misfortunes.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

It must always be remembered t...

It must always be remembered that all laws are naturally and inevitably evolved by the strongest force in a community, and in the last analysis made for the protection of the dominant class.

Instead of yielding to idle conversation it might profit one to cultivate silence and contemplation.

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 Seward Darrow 44 quotes

If a man really has charge of ...

If a man really has charge of his destiny at all, he should have something to say about getting born; and I only came through by a hair's-breadth. What had I to do with this momentous first step? In the language of the lawyer, I was not even a party of the second part.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

I knew that it is out of the q...

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 Seward Darrow 44 quotes

...finally men were saved only...

...finally men were saved only through God's son dying for them, and that unless human beings believed this silly, impossible and wicked story they were doomed to hell? Can anyone with intelligence really believe that a child born today should be doomed because the snake tempted Eve and Eve tempted Adam? To believe that is not God-worship; it is devil-worship.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

When every event was a miracle...

When every event was a miracle, when there was no order or system or law, there was no occasion for studying any subject, or being interested in anything excepting a religion which took care of the soul. As man doubted the primitive conceptions about religion, and no longer accepted the literal, miraculous teachings of ancient books, he set himself to understand nature.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

I feel as I always have, that ...

I feel as I always have, that the earth is the home and the only home of man, and I am convinced that whatever he is to get out of his existence he must get while he is here.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

If there is a soul, what is it...

If there is a soul, what is it, and where did it come from, and where does it go? Can anyone who is guided by his reason possibly imagine a soul independent of a body, or the place of its residence, or the character of it, or anything concerning it? If man is justified in any belief or disbelief on any subject, he is warranted in the disbelief in a soul. Not one scrap of evidence exists to prove any such impossible thing.

An agnostic is a doubter. The word is generally applied to those who doubt the verity of accepted religious creeds of faiths.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

Every thought of pity is like ...

Every thought of pity is like the balm of Gilead to our souls.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

It's not bad people I fear so ...

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 Seward Darrow 44 quotes

The purpose of life is living....

The purpose of life is living. Men and women should get the most they can out of their lives.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

The ability and inclination to...

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.
