I agree that a one line paraphrase can be too simple. I'm a teacher, and try to help people understand this difficult stuff.
Sorry that it took me so long to get back to you. I was going through my ins and outs.
Relatively later in life I became a teacher too partially because my students made me see that they liked my classes/teaching and also because I care about people/morality, (what I see as) "'the' truth" from the little corner from which I see "reality"; but, quite honestly, I was amazed when I noticed that someone was teaching philosophy using one liners! Philosophical thoughts stop being such once you can reductively paraphrase somehow. I initially thought of your interest in philosophical statements as some kind of corpora research.
There is no entry on 'piety' because I am not a theologian, and have not found any interesting ideas on the subject.
Actually, the high flying winds and undercurrents of religious thoughts have always had strong philosophical aspects or been outrightly philosophical dressed as religious this and that. Take, for example, the mind-body link. That happens not only with philosophy. I find interesting how scientists, philosophers, theologians and poets share and trespass each other's grounds.
I try to be fairly comprehensive, but the collection is obviously personal to me.
I have been looking for a long time for a comprehensive list of author(s)-work pairs.
I like the Heidegger remark. Do you have a reference for it?
