Quote by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762)

• No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting.

• I prefer liberty to chains of diamonds.

• I despise the pleasure of pleasing people that I despise.

• The fruit that can fall without shaking, indeed is too mellow for me.

• You can be pleased with nothing when you are not pleased with yourself.

• Civility costs nothing and buys everything.
