Quote by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762)

• Civility costs nothing and buys everything.

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

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

• I prefer liberty to chains of diamonds.

• It has all been very interesting.

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