Philosophy and Religion
Richard Robinson
"Theology and philosophy have the same subject matter. The difference is that in philosophy you are allowed to come out with whatever answer seems to you the more likely."
John Gardner
"The society that scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water."
Gandhi
"Truth is the most important name of God. It's more correct to say truth is god than to say God is truth."
