John W. Gardner was Lyndon Johnson's Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. This quote of him is from Sojomail's Verse and VoiceThe society which 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.
