Philosophy is a bully that talks loud when the danger is at a distant; but, the moment she is pressed hard by an enemy, she is nowhere to be found and leaves the brunt of the battle to be fought by her steady, humble comrade, religion.

Summary

This quote suggests that when there is no real threat or danger present, philosophy tends to confidently assert itself. However, in times of crisis or confrontation, philosophy often retreats and fails to offer the necessary guidance and support. In contrast, religion is portrayed as steadfast and reliable, willingly shouldering the burdens of challenging situations. The quote implies that religion is more resolute during difficult times, highlighting a potential weakness or inadequacy in philosophy's practical application.
