The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.

The difference between the right word and almost the right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.

What's the use you learning to do right, when it's troublesome to do right and ain't no trouble to do wrong, and the wages is just the same?

The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.

Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side? And hain't that a big enough majority in any town?

The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter - 'tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning.
