The proverb used in the play "Inherit the Wind" is "He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind." This line implies that those who bring chaos and conflict to their own lives will ultimately gain nothing of real value.
"He that troubleth his own house" - whoever causes conflict between their own house/community/family "Shall inherit the wind" - will inherit/get the resulting consequences that come with it.
The lesson of the story "Inherit the Wind" is the importance of freedom of thought and belief, and the dangers of ignorance and intolerance, particularly in the context of the Scopes Monkey Trial. It underscores the need for society to embrace scientific progress and intellectual curiosity, and to challenge dogma and superstition.
