“Worldly people, you see, use far more wisdom, about their trifling affairs than unworldly people do about the affairs of God. They give their minds to what they are doing. And I say to you. Learn from them. Learn how to deal with the world and make friends with worldly people, so that when everything earthly fails you may know the way to their hearts. The man who is reliable in little things is reliable in great things too—and if you can’t handle the goods of this world, how can you be trusted to handle the true treasures of Heaven?” — Dorothy L. Sayers
