From the preface of “The Danger of Words”.

They were not mistaken beliefs that produced the rites but the need to express something; the ceremonies were a form of language, a form of life.
Thus today if we are introduced to someone we shake hands; if we enter a church we take off our hats and speak in a low voice; at Christmas perhaps we decorate a tree.”

@marylindelgado I like #ConDrury's answer:
"We add nothing to the sum total of human cleverness and skill. Our function is otherwise. When the Delphic oracle told our father founder that he was the wisest man in Athens, he understood this to mean that he alone knew how little he understood. That still remains our function in society. To insist that people say only just as much as they really know"
