Clarence Darrow

I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure. 

True patriotism hates injustice in its own land more than anywhere else. 

I have suffered from being misunderstood, but I would have suffered a hell of a lot more if I had been understood. 

Chase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its coat tails. 

As long as the world shall last there will be wrongs, and if no man objected and no man rebelled, those wrongs would last forever. 

I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of. 

You can only be free if I am free. 

When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. 

You can only protect your liberties in this world by protecting the other man's freedom. 

The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything. 

If you lose the power to laugh, you lose the power to think. 

I don't like spinach, and I'm glad I don't, because if I liked it I'd eat it, and I just hate it. 

History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history. 

The law does not pretend to punish everything that is dishonest. That would seriously interfere with business.
