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 mean the beauty of being a writer is it's not like being a swimmer. When they were talking about our Olympic swimmers and they'd say, 'Oh she's so old,' and she's all of 25 or something.

The purpose of marriage is not to have pleasure and to be id

The purpose of marriage is not to have pleasure and to be idle, but to procreate and bring up children, to support a household. This, of course, is a huge burden full of great cares and toils. But you have been created by God to be a husband or a wife that you may learn to bear these troubles. Those who have no love for children are... unworthy of being called men or women; for they despise the blessing of God, the creator and author of marriage.
