Summary

This quote by Mark Twain's character Pudd'nhead Wilson suggests that it is not beneficial for everyone to have the same thoughts and opinions. The diversity of perspectives and ideas is what leads to progress and competition. In the context of horse racing, if all the horses were identical, there would be no competition and the race would be pointless. Similarly, in life, it is through the clash of contrasting opinions that innovation and growth can occur. Embracing and valuing these differences helps foster a richer society and intellectual exploration.

I do believe that the buck stops here, that I cannot rely upon public opinion polls to tell me what is right. I do believe that right makes might and that if I am wrong, 10 angels swearing I was right would make no difference. I do believe, with all my heart and mind and spirit, that I, not as President but as a humble servant of God, will receive justice without mercy if I fail to show mercy.

I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.

Traditional matter must be glorified, since it would be easier to listen to the re-creation of familiar stories than to quite new and unexpected things the listeners, we must remember, needed poetry chiefly as the re-creation of tired hours.
