What? Sunday morning in an English family and no sausages? God bless my soul, what's the world coming to, eh?
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
No share-pusher could vend his worthless stock, if he could not count on meeting, in his prospective victim, an unscrupulous avarice as vicious as his own, but stupider. Every time a man expects, as he says, his money to work for him, he is expecting other people to work for him.
Dorothy L. Sayers

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
If you want your own way, God will let you have it. Hell is the enjoyment of one's own way forever.
Dorothy L. Sayers
The only Christian work is good work, well done
Dorothy L. Sayers
Lawyers enjoy a little mystery, you know. Why, if everybody came forward and told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth straight out, we should all retire to the workhouse.
Dorothy L. Sayers
None of us feels the true love of God till we realize how wicked we are. But you can't teach people that - they have to learn by experience.
Dorothy L. Sayers
whereas, up to the present, there is only one known way of getting born, there are endless ways of getting killed.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Very dangerous things, theories.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Forgiveness is the one unpardonable sin.
Dorothy L. Sayers
To start with invention is the mark of the fertile mind ... and leads later to the interpretation of experience to start with the reproduction of experience is the infallible index of a barren invention.
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
That there is a secret itself is a secret.
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
