PLUMBING AND PHILOSOPHY

Wc m us I learn lo honor excellence, even to demand it,
in every socially accepted human activity, and to
scorn shoddiness, however exalted the activity. . . .
I lie society that scorns excellence in plumbing because
plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in
philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will
have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither
its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
