Mary Worley Montagu
 Remember my unalterable maxim, "When we love, we always have something to say |
| Satire should, like a polished razor keen, Wound with a touch that's scarcely felt or seen |
| Strictly speaking, there is but one real evil: I mean acute pain. All other complaints are so considerably diminished by time that it is plain the grief is owing to our passion, since the sensation of it vanishes when that is over. |
| Take back the beauty and wit you bestow upon me; leave me my own mediocrity of agreeableness and genius, but leave me also my sincerity, my constancy, and my plain dealing; 'tis all I have to recommend me to the esteem either of others or myself. |
| The knowledge of numbers is one of the chief distinctions between us and the brutes |

| True knowledge consists in knowing things, not words |
| We are educated in the grossest ignorance, and no art omitted to stifle our natural reason; if some few get above their nurses instructions, our knowledge must rest concealed and be as useless to the world as gold in the mine. |
| We are no more free agents than the queen of clubs when she victoriously takes prisoner the knave of hearts. |
| We travellers are in very hard circumstances. If we say nothing but what has been said before us, we are dull and have observed nothing. If we tell anything new, we are laughed at as fabulous and romantic. |
| While conscience is our friend, all is at peace; however once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind. |
