Dorothy L. Sayers Quotes

A Woman May Achieve Greatness, Or At Any Rate Great Renown, By Merely Being A Wonderful Wife And Mother, Like The Mother Of The Gracchi; Whereas The Men Who Have Achieved Great Renown By Being Devoted Husbands And Fathers Might Be Counted On The Fingers Of One Hand. Charles I Was An Unfortunate King, But An Admirable Family Man. Still, You Would Scarcely Class Him As One Of The World's Great Fathers, And His Children Were Not An Unqualified Success. Dear Me! Being A Great Father Is Either A Very Difficult Or A Very Sadly Unrewarded Profession. Wherever You Find A Great Man, You Will Find A Great Mother Or A Great Wife Standing Behind Him - Or So They Used To Say. It Would Be Interesting To Know How Many Great Women Have Had Great Fathers And Husbands Behind Them.
