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.

Darrow’s sentence frames injustice as a persistent feature of human society rather than an aberration that disappears on its own. The crucial claim is causal: wrongs endure not merely because they exist, but because people accommodate them. “Objected” and “rebelled” pair moral protest with active resistance, suggesting that conscience must be joined to action if conditions are to change. The line also implies a civic duty: dissent is not a disruption of social order but a necessary mechanism by which societies correct entrenched abuses. In Darrow’s broader public persona—skeptical of authority and sympathetic to the marginalized—the quote reads as a defense of agitation, labor organizing, and unpopular speech as engines of reform.
