More Quotes from Clarence Darrow:
First and last, it's a question of money. Those men who own the earth make the laws to protect what they have. They fix up a sort of fence or pen around what they have, and they fix the law so the fellow on the outside cannot get in.

We have no system for doing justice, not the slightest in the world.Clarence Darrow
