First I believe it to be a grave mistake to present Christianity as something charming and popular with no offense inn it.
Dorothy L. Sayers
It is not the business of the church to adapt Christ to men, but men to Christ.
Dorothy L. Sayers

Dorothy L. Sayers
I have never yet heard any middle-aged man or woman who worked with his or her brains express any regret for the passing of youth.

Dorothy L. Sayers
Wherever you find a great man, you will find a great mother or a great wife standing behind him -- or so they used to say. It would be interesting to know how many great women have had great fathers and husbands behind them.
Dorothy L. Sayers

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
I entirely agree that a historian ought to be precise in detail but unless you take all the characters and circumstances into account, you are reckoning without the facts. The proportions and relations of things are just as much facts as the things themselves.
Dorothy L. Sayers
What we ask is to be human individuals, however peculiar and unexpected. It is no good saying: You are a little girl and therefore you ought to like dolls if the answer is, But I don't, there is no more to be said.
Dorothy L. Sayers
. . . the fellow's got a bee in his bonnet. Thinks God's a secretion of the liver--all right once in a way, but there's no need to keep on about it. There's nothing you can't prove if your outlook is only sufficiently limited.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There are times when one is tempted to say that the great, sprawling, lethargic sin of Sloth is the oldest and greatest of the sins and the parent of all the rest.
Dorothy L. Sayers
