Still, it doesn't do to murder people, no matter how offensive they may be.
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
The only Christian work is good work, well done
Dorothy L. Sayers
People who prefer to believe the worst of others will breed war and religious persecutions while the world lasts.
Dorothy L. Sayers
There's truth as far as you knows it and there's truth as far as you're asked for it. But they don't represent the whole truth - not necessarily.
