Additional quotes by Mary Wortley Montagu

Satire should, like a polished razor keen,
Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or seen.

Be plain in dress, and sober in your diet;
In short, my deary, kiss me, and be quiet.

Let this great maxim be my virtue’s guide,—
In part she is to blame that has been tried:
He comes too near that comes to be denied.

But the fruit that can fall without shaking Indeed is too mellow for me. - Mary Wortley Montagu
