Inherit the Wind

DRUMMOND: "He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise in heart" (pg 126).

To me, the quote means that if someone is willing to question other people or stand up for what they believe in and not be afraid of getting judged or even shunned for it, they will be more successful then the person who is too afraid to show what they really feel. Inherit the wind means being able to take on any obsticals that may come in one's way.
I think it is a good title for this play because the title is ironic given the circumstance. The title is from Proverbs 11:29, one of the books in the bible. The book talks about how wrong it is to teach evolution in school, which is presented by a religious title found in the bible.
