More quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
That you cannot have Christian principles without Christ is becoming increasingly clear, because their validity as principles depends on Christ's authority.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Well-bred English people never have imagination.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Work is not primarily a thing one does to live but the thing one lives to do. It is, or it should be, the full expression of the worker's faculties, the thing in which he finds spiritual, mental and bodily satisfaction, and the medium in which he offers himself to God.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What do we find God 'doing about' this business of sin and evil?...God did not abolish the fact of evil He transformed it. He did not stop the Crucifixion He rose from the dead.
Dorothy L. Sayers
He was so crooked, you could have used his spine for a safety-pin.

But if it ever occurs to people to value the honor of the mind equally with the honor of the body, we shall get a social revolution of a quite unparalleled sort — and very different from the kind that is being made at the moment.
Dorothy L. Sayers
If men will not understand the meaning of judgement, they will never come to understand the meaning of grace.
Dorothy L. Sayers
You cannot do good work if you take your mind off the work to see how the community is taking it.
Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers
The one thing which seems to me quite impossible is to take into consideration the kind of book one is expected to write surely one can only write the book that is there to be written.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Placetne, magistra? Placet.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There is also one excellent reason why the veriest amateur may feel entitled to have an opinion about education. For if we are not all professional teachers, we have all, at some time or other, been taught. Even if we learned nothing-perhaps in particular if we learned nothing-our contribution to the discussion may have a potential value.
Dorothy L. Sayers
But you see, I can believe a thing without understanding it. It's all a matter of training.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The doctrine of hell is not mediaeval priestcraft for frightening people into giving money to the church: it is Christ's deliberate judgment on sin.... We cannot repudiate hell without altogether repudiating Christ.
Dorothy L. Sayers
For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach men how to learn for themselves and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The education that we have so far succeeded in giving to the bulk of our citizens has produced a generation of mental slatterns.
Dorothy L. Sayers
She reflected she must be completely besotted about Peter, if his laughter could hallow an aspidistra.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It's very good of you-- No, no, not at all. It's my hobby. Not proposing to people, I don't mean, but investigating things. Well, cheer-frightfully-ho and all that. And I'll call again, if I may. I will give the footman orders to admit you, said the prisoner, gravely, you will always find me at home.
Dorothy L. Sayers
