Dorothy L. Sayers Quotes

Right from my childhood, I have believed in a Supreme Power. I don't know whether it has form, or it is formless. I am a high school dropout. How come life has given me so much? It's not my intelligence, it's not my abilities. This understanding makes me scared even in success. I don't own my success. Neither do I own my failure.

You never know, God can take my ability away any day, so I just thank God for everything he does for me, and for putting my sister in my life and motivating me.

Everything is true, and nothing is true!

I began to wonder whether anything truly existed, whether reality wasn't an unformed and gelatinous substance only half-captured by my senses....If that were true, each of us was living in absolute isolation. The thought terrified me. I was consoled by the idea that I could take that gelatin and mold it to create anything I wanted...At times I felt that the universe fabricated from the power of the imagination had stronger and more lasting contours than the blurred realm of the flesh-and-blood creatures around me.

I suppose therefore that all things I see are illusions; I believe that nothing has ever existed of everything my lying memory tells me. I think I have no senses. I believe that body, shape, extension, motion, location are functions. What is there then that can be taken as true? Perhaps only this one thing, that nothing at all is certain.

Last, I just want to thank God again. He's the first and the last. Alpha and Omega. I thank you for saving my life.

It was the hour in which objects lose the consistency of shadow that accompanies them during the night and gradually reacquire colors, but seem to cross meanwhile an uncertain limbo, faintly touched, just breathed on by light; the hour in which one is least certain of the world's existence.

When everything is going good, that's when I know God has rewarded me for my faith.

I remember my first lesson on the pilgrimage was the lesson of receiving. I had been on the giving side for many years and I needed to learn to accept as gracefully as I had been able to give, in order to give the other fellow the joy and blessing of giving. It's so beautiful when you live to give. To me it's the only way to live because as you give you receive spiritual blessings.

We accept reality so readily - perhaps because we sense that nothing is real.

Blessings can come in a number of ways. The Lord doesn't give you what you want, the Lord gives you what you need.

In thinking about His many blessings, you view God's work from a new perspective.

The memory of my mother will always be a blessing to me.

What is generally termed reality is, to be precise, a frothy nothing.

We are not to choose the manner in which our blessings shall be bestowed.

Glory be to God for all things!

The genealogy of blessing always traces back to God-ordained risk.

A low view of God is the cause of a hundred lesser evils. A high view of God is the solution to ten thousand temporal problems.

God's blessings are dispensed according to the riches of his grace, not according to the depth of our faith.

We in America should be grateful to God for the blessing he has given us.

God fails not to sow blessings in the furrows.

Before all else, we seek, upon our common labor as a nation, the blessings of Almighty God.
