I'm asking the Collective Wisdom of TARBOARD (Who said that first?):Does anyone know the origin / author of the following, or something similiar?

"A society that tolerates mediocrity in philosophy because it is an exaulted activity, but scorns excellence in plumbing because it is a lowly activity will fail: neither its ideas nor its pipes will hold water."
Thanks. Dan. Master and Owner. m/v MARGOLETTA
