"An excellent plumber is infinitely more admirable than an incompetent philosopher. The society which 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.

What more did he say? Well, I might not know it from heart (since it's not very short) but when I find it... Ah, here we are:

And ms Marietta Cosmopilite on Quirmstreet 3, Ankh-Morpork would allso have believed in it. But then again, she believed in that theworld is round, that a slice of garlic in herdrawer with underwears keeps vampires away, that it does you good to go out and have a laught once in a while, that there's something good in everyone, you only have to know where to look and that three horrible, tiny dwarves looked in everyday when she got undressed*.

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

By Douglas Adams who is once more only too right. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Ah, Douglas Addams, what did HE say again? Ah yes:

A highway is a thing that goes between point A and point B. It helps pepole get from point A very fast and it allso helps pepole at point B get to point A very fast. C is a point placed right in between point A and B. They wonder what's so wonderfull at point B since everybody at point A really have to go there, and they allso wonder why everyone at point B have to go to point A. They really think pepole should decide where they REALLY whould like to be, and stay there.
X would really like to be at point D, who is a point as far away from A, B and C as possiblle. There he would have a small cottage with horns over the door (his whife would like daisys, but he preferred horns). He would spend a lot of time at E, who is the closest local pub.

And one of the interesting ones at that - Descartes said many things worth a thought or two, like:

"If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

You don't need to be a philosopher for that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Besides... a lot of humans think all the time (I hope) and aren't...
