Dorothy L. Sayers
If anybody ever marries you, it will be for the pleasure of hearing you talk piffle
Dorothy L. Sayers
Except ye become as little children, except you can wake on your fiftieth birthday with the same forward-looking excitement and interest in life that you enjoyed when you were five, ye cannot enter the kingdom of God. One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again.
Dorothy L. Sayers
Placetne, magistra? Placet.
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
But what are you going to do about the people who are cursed with both hearts and brains?
Dorothy L. Sayers
