Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night

Dorothy L. Sayers
“I suppose one oughtn’t to marry anybody, unless one’s prepared to make him a full-time job.”

Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night

Dwight L. Moody
“People need to quit trusting in themselves and their religion and start trusting in Jesus.”
Dwight L. Moody, How to Study the Bible

Jennifer L. Scott
“Rejoice in every aspect of life—big or small. Let nothing pass you by. Appreciate everything—whether it is perceived as good or bad. You have the power to turn any experience into a pleasurable one. Challenge your preconceptions and luxuriate in the simple things of life.”
Jennifer L. Scott, Lessons from Madame Chic: 20 Stylish Secrets I Learned While Living in Paris

George MacDonald
“I was doing the wrong of never wanting or trying to better. And now I see that I have been letting things go as the would for a long time. Whatever came into my head I did and whatever didn’t come into my head I didn’t do.”
George MacDonald, The Princess and Curdie
