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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Human action is governed largely by instinct and emotion.

Great wealth often curses all who touch it.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

Everyone is the heir to all th...

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.

Eugene V. Debs has always been one of my heroes.

Do you think you can cure the ...

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 Seward Darrow 44 quotes

Criminal cases receive the att...

Criminal cases receive the attention of the press. The cruel and disagreeable things of life are more apt to get the newspaper space than the pleasant ones. It must be that most people enjoy hearing of and reading about the troubles of others. Perhaps men unconsciously feel that they rise in the general level as others go down.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

All men have an emotion to kil...

All men have an emotion to kill; when they strongly dislike someone they involuntarily wish he was dead. I have never killed anyone, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.

Thirteen states with a populat...

Thirteen states with a population less than that of New York State alone can prevent repeal [of prohibition] until Halley's comet returns. One might as well talk about a summer vacation on Mars.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

Everything serious that he say...

Everything serious that he says is a joke and everything humorous that he says is dead serious.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

Liberty is the most jealous and exacting mistress that can beguile the soul and brain of man.

My constitution was destroyed long ago; now I am living under the bylaws.

Education was in danger from the source that always hampered itЂ'religious fanaticism.

Clarence Seward Darrow 44 quotes

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.
