Previous Quote
A jackass has that kind of strength, and puts it to a useful purpose, and is valuable to the world because he is a jackass; but anobleman is not valuable because he is a jackass.

And yet, once you start a mistake, the trouble is done and you never know what is going to come of it.
— Mark Twain
