 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.

 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 have been looking for a long time for a comprehensive list of
author(s)-work pairs.
