Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Some men must follow, and some command, though all are made of clay.
Summary
This quote reflects the inherent diversity of human nature, suggesting that people are born with different abilities and roles. It acknowledges that while all individuals are flawed and imperfect ("made of clay"), some are naturally inclined to lead and take charge, while others are more inclined to follow and be led. It recognizes the natural variations in people's capabilities and the need for both leaders and followers in society, emphasizing that personal traits and inclinations determine one's position, rather than a predetermined hierarchy based on inherent worth.
