Dorothy L. Sayers
Advertising never sold a bad product twice.
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
Advertise, or go under.
Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers
How can I find the words? Poets have taken them all and left me with nothing to say or do Except to teach me for the first time what they meant.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It was left for the present age to endow Covetousness with glamour on a big scale, and to give it a title which it could carry like a flag. It occurred to somebody to call it Enterprise. From the moment of that happy inspiration, Covetousness has gone forward and never looked back.
Dorothy L. Sayers
All the children seem to be coming out quite intelligent, thank goodness. It would have been such a bore to be the mother of morons, and it’s an absolute toss-up, isn’t it? If one could only invent them, like characters in books, it would be much more satisfactory to a well-regulated mind.
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
I love you - I am at rest with you - I have come home.
