  This is slightly misquoting the man, whose work was the use of language
and philosophy in religious thought (and notable for reinterpreting the
Torah):

  He wrote: "Philosophy is the deliberate use of language specifically
designed for that purpose." Though he considered art an aspect of this,
and any science derives from a philosophical standpoint, science today has
nothing of the philosophical basis except in the quality of testing,
explicit though it may be. We are a bit more serious than _then_.

  Little steps are often the hardest to take.  We are too used to making leaps 
in the face of adversity, that a simple skip is so hard to do.  We should all 
learn to walk soft, walk small, see the world around us rather than zoom by it.
